Margaret was a 1940 graduate of Niles McKinley High School, and was employed at Alberini’s Restaurant retiring as banquet manager in 1984. Always wanting to keep busy, she came out of retirement in 1986 to work in family owned business until retiring for a second time in 2008 at the age of 86.

Margaret was a wonderful cook and baker and was the happiest when she was feeding her family and friends. Even when hospitalized she insisted on sharing her tray with visitors. Casinos and going out to lunch were some of her favorite activities, but nothing gave her more pleasure than family gatherings, hearing her grand and great-grandchildren call her nunny, this put a smile on her face and melted her soul.
