Margaret (Peggy) M McGinnis

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Margaret (Peggy) McGinnis on October 6, 2024 at the age of 60. Peggy was born on May 5, 1964 to Joseph and Josephine (Fedor) Cooney.

Peggy was a successful Senior Account Manager at International Flavors & Fragrances and it was here that she met her love and future husband of 30 years, Matthew McGinnis.

Peggy was known as a go-getter who never backed down from a challenge. But all the while having fun and making everyone and everything better in the process.

As much as she loved her job and the adventures it brought, there was one thing that Peggy loved more than anything, and that is her son, Bobby. Peggy loved being a mom and it brought her great joy. Everyone who knew Peggy would agree that being a mom was her greatest accomplishment. Along with work and spending time with family, Peggy loved to crochet, travel, or just enjoy a good movie.

Peggy is preceded in her passing by her father and mother, Joseph and Josephine Cooney, her sister Noreen Sturgeon and her brother John Cooney.

Peggy is survived by her husband Matthew McGinnis, son Bobby McGinnis, sisters Joanne McMenamie, Cindy Cruz, brothers Joseph Cooney Jr., Patrick Cooney, Paul Cooney, sisters-in-law Victoria Cooney, Teresa Grassi, brothers-in-law Robert McMenamie, and Rodney Sturgeon. Additionally, by Matt’s many brothers and sisters and their expansive collection of nieces, nephews, great nieces, and great nephews. Lastly, but not least, her beloved dogs Jersey, Brooklyn, Gizmo, and Cuddles.

A viewing will be held at Martin Funeral Home in Port St. Lucie, Florida on October 16, 2024 from 3pm-5pm. Additionally, a celebration of life is set to be held in New Jersey next spring.
