MARGARET B. KASPRZAK June 26, 1935 -- June 6, 2022 ST. MARYS, KANSAS & PALMYRA--We celebrate the life and mourn the death of our beloved Margaret B. Kasprzak, who passed away Monday, June 6, 2022, at the age of 86. She was the youngest of 10 children. She was born June 26, 1935, in Boston, MA; a daughter of Albert and Agnes (Sargeant) Kenney. Margaret lived in Boston for 40 years before moving to Maine at great personal sacrifice for the love and benefit of her children in 1976. Margaret and her husband Adam raised their family and built their legacy of love on Sunset Hill in Palmyra, for the next 45 years. Margaret tirelessly labored daily in the raising of 8 children. Kissing every booboo, washing every dirty sock, and putting every ounce of herself into raising them into the incredible, beautiful, parents they would all become. Margaret and Adam were united in marriage in Roxbury, MA on June 19, 1955, and would spend the next 55 years deeply in love until his untimely death on July 9, 2009. She is also predeceased by her daughter Margie, her grandson Dennis, great granddaughter Katherine, and daughter in law Tracy, as well as her brothers and sisters. Margaret went by many names. To her husband she was Marge, to her children she was Ma (insert Boston accent), to her grandchildren she was known affectionately as Nana. No matter what the relationship, no matter how you knew her, you loved her, and you liked her. Marge was a storyteller. She would share her wealth of wisdom with enthusiastic flair. Her laugh was utterly infectious, and her angry glare would stop you in your tracks. She lived as a devout Catholic. She prayed faithfully for every member of her unbelievably large family every single day: 8 children, 43 grandchildren, 80 great grandchildren, and 4 great-great grandchildren. She had an immeasurable affection for her faith. She woke and walked in the light of Christ. Margaret had many talents and skills, but her math was on another level. She enjoyed it and made use of this passion once her children had grown. She worked for many years for Lovley Investments and was a critical asset whom they deeply appreciated. She is survived by her children, Julie and Brian McCann, Adam and Susan, Laure and David Moody, Michael and Cindy, Thomas and Gaye, James and Jennifer, Paul and Karen and aforementioned 127 heirs. The family is grateful for Brian and Julie McCann with whom Margaret spent her final years. Their tender care and perseverance in the attention of Nana in their home was a true effort of selfless love that is appreciated by everyone. Friends may call 6 to 8 P.M., Thursday, June 16th at Crosby & Neal, 117 Main Street, Newport. A graveside committal will be held at noon Friday, June 17th, at the Palmyra Village Cemetery with Deacon David Denbow officiating. She died Catholic as she lived in the embrace of Holy Mother Church. In lieu of flowers, Margaret wanted Masses offered up for the repose of her soul.
