Margaret A. Mackay

Margaret A. Mackay of Framingham died Sunday, March 6, 2011 at Sudbury Pines Extended Care Facility in Sudbury following a period of declining health. She was 78 and the wife for fifty five years of Peter D. Mackay. She was born July 11, 1932 in Cambridge, the daughter of the late Hugh and Jane (Simpson) Watson. She was a graduate of the former Boston Dispensary and was employed in healthcare; working at Malden Hospital and later at Leonard Morse Hospital as a Histologist.

Primarily, however, she was a homemaker. A resident of Framingham since 1958, she was a member of the Edwards Church in Saxonville. A private, graveside service will take place at a later date. In addition to her husband, Peter, Mrs. Mackay leaves her children; Carol A. Demont of Lunenberg, Peter D. Mackay, Jr., and his wife, Tambra J., of Upton, Hugh W. Mackay and his husband, Joseph LaValle-Mackay of New Salem and Bonnie J. Maddox and her husband, Peter F. of Marlboro. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Timothy L. Demont, Christopher R., Leann J. and Scott W. Mackay. At the request of the family, rather than flowers, memorials donation in memory of Mrs. Mackay should be directed to the charity of one’s choice. Arrangements are under the care and direction of MetroWest Funeral & Cremation Service, Wadsworth-Chiappini, Framingham.
