Margaret T. Nolan

Loving and Generous -

Margaret Theresa Daly Nolan, 87, of Mechanicsburg, PA died on Sunday, July 24, 2011 at ManorCare in Carlisle, PA. Her son Michael and daughter-in-law Karin were at her side at the time she went to heaven to be with her Lord Jesus Christ and her husband, John, who predeceased her in 1994.

Marge was born on April 25, 1924 in County Monaghan, Ireland to James and Susan (Quinn) Daly, and came to the United States with her family at the age of 3.

In the United States, Marge lived in the Bronx and Queens, NY; Malverne, Long Island; and Beverly Beach, FL. In 2003, she moved to Mechanicsburg to live with her son and family. She was a member of Saint Joseph Parish in Mechanicsburg.

She is survived by her son Michael, daughter-in-law Karin, grand children Kristine Barner, husband Jeremy and son Jaden of Mt. Holly Springs PA; Kathleen May and husband Jared of Dillsburg PA; and Brian Nolan and wife Amelia of Bristow VA; step-grand children Kimberly Riordan, husband Robbie and children Corey, Kyle and Chelsi of Conneaut Lake PA; Nicole Henry and husband Bill of Mt. Holly Springs PA; Eric Kantz, wife Laurie, and children Braeden and Carmen of Meadville PA; Zachary Holbrook of Brooklyn NY and Josh Holbrook of Harrisburg PA. Marge is survived by her sister Mary McGilloway and husband Dan of Beverly Beach FL; as well as several nieces and nephews. Marge is also survived by her best friend of 65 plus years, Oradell Alter of East Chester, NY and by her precious roommate at ManorCare, Bea, who she cared for and loved dearly. Marge is predeceased by brothers, Frank, Pat and James Daly of NY.

“Grandma”, as she preferred to be called, was an incredibly loving and generous person. She only saw the good in people and was so appreciative of everything she had and everything people did for her no matter how small. She lived to shop for clothes and loved to spend the day shopping with Karin.

This world is a better place because of Grandma’s life. She touched countless people with her warm personality and kind words. Grandma was so happy when over the last two weeks she had visits from her nieces Janie Ford of VA, Barbara Heymann of CT and Susie Sheehan of FL, in addition to her sister Mary also of FL.

The Nolan family wants to thank the entire staff at ManorCare for making Grandma’s stay there so positive and rewarding. She loved you all and constantly spoke about how wonderful the people and services were.

At her request, there will be no viewing or service at this time. She is being cremated and will be buried with her husband, John, in Florida on a future date to be determined by her family.

Anyone wishing to make a donation in her memory should do so to ManorCare Health Services, 940 Walnut Bottom Rd., Carlisle PA 17015.
