Margaret Elizabeth Davis
July 8, 1937 – July 10, 2025
Margaret Elizabeth Davis passed away peacefully on July 10, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family. She was 88 years old.
Margaret was a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend. She was born in Brooklyn in 1937 and was a graduate of Fort Hamilton High School. She was a proud member of the McLaughlin family, one of ten siblings who shared an unbreakable bond. Her warmth, kindness, and unwavering devotion to those she loved touched the lives of many.
She is predeceased by her parents, Catherine and James McLaughlin; by James Long and Jack Davis; and by her brother, James McLaughlin. Her memory will live on in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
Margaret is survived by her loving children: Laura and Ken Ennis, James and Jackie Long, Robert and Anne Long, and Lynda and Tom Faherty. She was adored by her grandchildren- James and Shannon, Catherine, Kasey, Julia, Jack, Allie, Kelly, Kate, Thomas, and Conor- and great-grandson Jay, all of whom were the loves of her life and the source of her greatest joy and pride.
She is also survived by her devoted siblings: Ethna (Joe), Helen (Jerry), Kathleen (Fred), Mary, Brother Sean SDS, Fran (Bill), Joan (John), and Irene (Tony), who shared a lifetime of memories, music and laughter with her. She cherished the time she spent with the families of her many nieces and nephews.
Margaret's legacy is one of love, strength, and family. She will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of knowing her.
