Margaret "Marge" F. McGeehan

Margaret “Marge” F. McGeehan passed away on October 4, 2026. Beloved wife of William (Bill). Loving mom to Mary Moretz (Preston), Maureen McGeehan, William Jr. (Bill), and Margaret (Meg) McGeehan-Matyi (Joe). Cherished “Big Grandmom” to nine grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Marge is also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Marge was predeceased in life by her parents, Martin & Dorothy Hemphill and 10 siblings, survived by two. 

Marge was born in Philadelphia and raised in the Fishtown section of the city. She attended Holy Name School through eighth grade and later graduated from Kensington High School.

Marge shared 62 wonderful years of marriage with her husband, Bill. Together, they built a beautiful life and family that remained the center of her world. She was a proud member of St. Joachim Catholic Church in Frankford as well as a member of The Catholic Daughters of the Americas. She held her Catholic faith close throughout her life.

Marge enjoyed gardening and especially loved getting away to the mountains specifically, White Haven, Pennsylvania, holding a special place in her heart. Above all else, however, Marge loved her family. Nothing brought her greater happiness than spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, loving them, caring for them, and watching her family grow throughout the years. She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
