Margaret Jean Berry, age 86, passed away peacefully on June 14, 2025. Born on March 5, 1939, Margaret lived a full and beautiful life marked by love, strength, and grace.

She was the proud mother of six children, all of whom survive her: Barbara Bolcer, Sherry Melott, Judy Burns, Jeffery Burns, and Diana Burns. Her legacy continues through her 5 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren, and 3 great-great-grandchildren, each of whom she loved dearly.

Margaret worked as a machinist at Martin Sprocket and Gear for 20 years before retiring. She was known for her incredible work ethic, warm heart, and joyful spirit. Margaret had a passion for dancing, loved dressing beautifully, and often found joy and relaxation in coloring. She was a devoted and loving mother, always offering a kind word and a helping hand.

A graveside service will be held on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Pleasant Point Cemetery, where family and friends will gather to honor and celebrate her life.

Margaret will be deeply missed and forever remembered for the love she gave so freely and the beautiful life she lived.
