Margaret had a normal childhood in Ireland and at the ripe old age of 16, in 1954, came to the USA to live out the American Dream. Here is where she met and married her love of her live Douglas Sedgley. They remained faithfully married for 40 years until Doug’s passing in 1999. Along the way they had 3 boys. Paul (56), Jeff (deceased in 1986. He would have been 54 today) and Donald (49).

Margaret was a loving housemaker to her family. She enjoyed cooking, cleaning, gardening, vacationing and more. Margaret and Doug never stopped living after the tragic loss of their son Jeff to a car accident. She also never stopped living after the unfortunate loss of her husband Doug to cancer. She was then supported by her son Paul and his wife Joann and their three kids Jennifer, Jessica and Cameron. She was also supported by her son Donald and his wife Erin and their three kids Brady, Rory and Delaney.
