Margaret Moran-Vosburgh Obituary

Margaret “Peggy” Moran-Vosburgh, 89, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 4, 2022.  Born on June 19, 1932, to the late Catherine (nee Reilly) and Frank Rogers in Bronx, New York. In 1952 Peggy married the late Daniel J. Moran, her Irishman from County Kerry, and moved to Rutherford in 1955  where they raised their seven healthy children: Mary Kate Neville (late James), the late Daniel M. Moran (Deborah), Frank Moran (Wesanne), the late Sean Moran, Kevin Moran, Matthew Moran, and Margaret Missy Scanlon (Glenn).  Peggy is also predeceased by her husband the late Walter Vosburgh and siblings Frank, Ellen, Catherine O’Malley and Rosemary Bruton.

Most of all, Peggy cherished her time spent with her seven grandchildren, Daniel Moran (Meghan), Erin Marrone (Anthony), Meghan Moran, Caitlin Kalish (Ryan), Mikaela Scanlon, Regan Scanlon, Sean Moran, and her six beautiful great-grandchildren.

Peggy’s strong Catholic Faith was an important part of her daily ritual where she would spend hours praying for the living and for those that passed before her. A long time devoted Parishioner of the Church of St. Mary, Steward at St. John Vianney’s, and supporter of any Catholic organization that sent her an envelope.

Proud of her Irish heritage, she formed lifelong friendships as a founding member of the North Jersey Irish American Association, and as a Board member of the Jersey Hurling Club.  Her love of all things Irish has spanned generations of her family, even most recently being an active member of the Rutherford Irish American Association. Peggy was well known for her delicious Irish Soda Bread, quick wit and infectious smile. To know Peg was to love her.  She will be missed.

Friends will be received Friday, April 8,2022  from 4-8 p.m. at Macagna-Diffily-Onortao Funeral Home, 41 Ames Avenue, Rutherford, NJ; Saturday, April 9,2022  Funeral Mass at Church of St. Mary in Rutherford, NJ, at 10:30 a.m. Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery, North Arlington, NJ.
