To all of Margaret’s children. She was so very proud of each one of you. Always had nothing but praise for you. You had a great mom. Cherish her memories.

To the family:
Maggie could light up the room when she entered. She was direct and kind and loving.She let you know what was on her mind and you didn’t have to wonder if she liked you..You would just know. I loved being around her. She was funny without even knowing it. And her fudge was out of this world.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Margaret, I worked with her at Emily P Bissell Hospital, when she was an administrative assistant for the Nursing Office. She was just a great person, always had a smile and a kind word to say. She was so smart and organized, the Nursing Department would have fallen apart without her. She will be missed

The naming the many relatives of Margaret Ann Lacy is a loving tribute to her.
Although I never met Mrs. Lacy, her picture on Spicer Mulliken’s webpage shows a person it seems that anyone who knew her would have found a genuine pleasure to know.
Sincere condolences to each of Mrs. Lacy’s loved ones.

So sorry to hear of Marge’s death. But I am happy that in February we got to visit with Marge, Doris and Kelly. It was short but so nice to catch up. I know my mom welcomed her and though sad for us, happy she did not suffer.

What a wonderful person. A beautiful personality. She always spoke highly of her family, she loved you all. She always spoke what was on her mind. I will never forget her funny saying ” what doesn’t sag — leaks–“, she was funny, and what a true statement. Please hang on to all the beauty she left you. I was so heartbroken to hear of her death. I did her hair the morning she died. I had no idea it would be her last, as well as all of us didn’t. She had lots of plans…, But before she left, I told her I would see her in a month..she said GOD WILLING….
So MAY SHE REST IN GODS PEACE …… It was my honor to know her…may God bless all of you.

She was mommom lacy to me she was a friend, and she was an amazing human. She always had the words even if she didn’t hear your words. She helped me in so many ways getting me dinner when I needed it, she gave me advice when I needed it she gave me hope When I had none. She was a ball of energy that put a smile on anyone that talk to her. I’ll miss her forever until we meet again I love ya mommom Rest In Peace.
