MARGARET MCGANN EASTON Margaret McGann Easton died peacefully at her home on January 10, 2020, at the age of 101. She was predeceased by her husband of 66 years, Samuel M. Easton. They raised their family in Pittsburgh and then relocated to Florida. She was blessed with great health, a strong faith, and her eight loving children, Margaret Mary, Jane, Carole, Samuel (Barbara), Edward (Amy), Patricia, JoAnna, and Joseph. She was cherished and adored by her 57 grandchildren; 68 great-grandchildren; and nine great-great grandchildren. Her passions in life included her religion, her family, friends, and bingo. Her life was one to be admired. She always described herself as very, very blessed. I am independent, peaceful, and extraordinarily blessed with good health and a wonderful family. She said there was a higher power that guided and directed her. She was never materialistic, had a strong sense of faith, and loved being busy, especially with family. She made time for prayer and meditation, and liked quiet times over social situations. The family will miss their Mommy Margaret, their Matriarch.
