Margaret E. May

She was born on Jan 31, 1944 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and grew up in Fleetwood, Pennsylvania.  She graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1961.  She was a devoted mother, wife, sister and friend.

She was predeceased by her daughter, Margaret A. Hofmann; her parents , Militza and Emil Kuzmann; and her stepson, James May.

Survivors include her husband, Frank May; daughters: Maria O’Brien (John), Elizabeth Warden, Rosemary Muchoney (Mark), Kathryn Hofmann (fiancé of Michael Adams), Rachel Gilchrist (John), stepdaughter, Jodie Solomon (Joe); and her brothers, Emil,  Joseph (Brenda) and Robert Kuzmann.  She was blessed with 12 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren. 

Margaret had many talents and interests but the most important thing to her was taking care of her family and helping them in any way possible.  She had a heart of gold and always lent a hand to anyone in need.  She had many careers.  She owned two drapery businesses when she resided in Pennsylvania.  Later, she moved to Mesa, Arizona and became a team leader at TRW.

She moved to Florida in 1993 to help care for her aging parents and obtained her realtor’s license.  She started investing in properties and met her husband, Frank. Together they experienced profound joy being able to help provide seniors, many of whom were on fixed incomes, with a beautiful place they could call home.   

She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.  She left this world a much better place.

There will be a private service at Florida National Cemetery, Bushnell, Florida.
