Margaret June Maskill

Margaret June (Turley) Maskill; (1927-2016) age 88; of Rochester, MI; passed away on April 18, 2016. Beloved wife of the late Donald James Sr. She was born July 1, 1927, in Detroit to the late Willis and Rose (Nordheim) Turley. She was a loving wife, dedicated mother, devout Christian, and a true inspiration to her family and friends. “Peggy” was educated at St. Ambrose and St. Mary’s Nursing College in Detroit. She bravely served in the United State Cadet Nurse Corps (St. Mary’s Hospital, Detroit) during World War II, where she met the love of her life, Donald. They were married for 61 years. Her smile was contagious, her words uplifting, her message was peace. She served as a gifted registered Nurse, a Girl Scout leader, and giving volunteer for Rochester Welcome Wagon and St. Andrew Catholic Church. We so looked forward to her blessing “God be with you dear” and sharing her unconditional love for the Lord, family, friends and anyone who asked.

Proud mother of Dawn (Jay) Helman, Denis (Tracy) Maskill, Debra (Martin) Cohn, Dale (JoAnn) Maskill, Mark Maskill, Marianne (Lyn) Joyner, Donald (Carol) Maskill, Jr., Therese (Kurt) Foote, Martin Maskill and Lisa (Kyle) Smalley. Also survived by thirty grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

She is survived by her brother Dick Gadoua.
