Margaret Catherine Breslin

Margaret Catherine Breslin (Peggy), passed away peacefully on November 21, 2024, at the age of 94. Beloved daughter of the late Thomas and Marguerite (nee Corbett) Flannery.

Margaret's legacy is reflected in her large, loving family. She is survived by her children, Margaret Dietzmann (the late Joseph), James Breslin (Donna), Daniel Breslin, Joseph Breslin (Regina), and Mary Breslin. Together, they carry forward her rich legacy, which includes 22 grandchildren and an impressive 31 great-grandchildren, who lovingly referred to her as Mom, GMOM, and GiGi. -Margaret was preceded in death by her husband, James W. Breslin; her daughter, Maureen Heistand (the late Joseph).

Her devotion to her faith and her family will forever be remembered by those who had the privilege to know her. Alongside her passion for dancing and hosting family gatherings where love and laughter reigned, her vibrant personality shone brightly through not only her sharp fashion sense but her love of music, finding joy in the melodies of Kenny Rogers, Tom Jones and her grandkids favorite Bon Jovi. With an infectious spirit, she was always there for everyone, extending her kindness and support selflessly to those in need.

Margaret enjoyed socializing at senior citizens' gatherings and loved to travel, visiting numerous landmarks with the seniors’ group over the years along with the trips to the serene landscapes of Harvey's Lake as a child, the bustling atmosphere of Atlantic City and its casinos, and the lively shores of Wildwood, New Jersey where lifetimes of memories were created with her family.
