Marguerite M. (McCafferty) Montgomery, 88, a resident of Dracut, passed away Thursday, May 14, 2015 at her daughter's home with her loving family by her side.
Born in Lowell on December 19, 1926, she was a daughter of the late Matthew P. McCafferty, Sr. and Agnes W. (Sullivan) McCafferty.
Marguerite attended Lowell Schools and later made her life as a homemaker, taking care of the family she loved so much. Whether it was Saturday afternoons when the grandchildren would meet at nana and grampa's for sandwiches on "nana bread", weekdays waiting for the "three boys" to get off the bus to spend the afternoon with her, or any gathering where all her great grandchildren were having fun, nana would just enjoy and tell everyone her "proud" stories. She always had stories and songs for everything! She was such a "people person" and loved meeting new people and becoming friends.
She was a parishioner of St. Michael Parish and when her children were in St. Michael School, was an active member of St. Dominic's Club.
She was married for over 60 years to the love of her life, the late Robert W. Montgomery, Sr. who passed away on March 19, 2008.
