Margaret L. Madine's Obituary
Margaret L. Madine , age 97, of Bridgeville, formerly of Brentwood, entered into eternal rest on November 17, 2021.
Margaret is survived by her daughter, Marilyn A. (Herbert O'Dell) Madine; son, Regis V. (Donna) Madine; as well as great nieces Linda (Jerry) Martis and Maryann Hadley, great nephew Don (Judy) Hadley and many great-great nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Anna Lafko; husband, Regis J. Madine, and her brothers, Joseph and Edward Lafko.
Margaret worked as a telephone operator for Bell Telephone/Verizon for 34 years. On many days, Margaret’s voice could be heard reporting the weather on the telephone weather line, and she was one of the first operators trained on the computerized switchboard. She enjoyed crafts, crocheting, tending to her roses, dancing and rooting for the Pirates. She enjoyed baking her special coconut cakes for family birthdays and her “almost famous” Christmas cookies each year. Most of all, Margaret loved and enjoyed her family, and her kind and caring heart and beautiful smile will be missed by all who knew her.
Private services will be held at the JEFFERSON MEMORIAL FUNERAL HOME, INC., 301 Curry Hollow Rd., Pleasant Hills, 15236.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alzheimer's Association: Greater Pennsylvania Chapter at https://www.alz.org/pa
