Margaret Mary Fennie

She graduated from Notre Dame High School in Chicago and attended DePaul University. Marg then worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Chicago, where she met the love of her life, a handsome FBI agent, J. Edgar Fennie. They married in 1953 and raised seven sons, who always kept Marg on her toes. With a promise of a backyard pool, the family moved to Tucson Arizona in 1970. Marg was a consummate mother and homemaker, and later worked alongside Edgar in their home office. She excelled at watercolors, gardening, needlepoint, crossword puzzles and bridge. She enjoyed a good Merlot, novels, lunch with girlfriends and shopping trips to Talbots and Tiffany. With a grand sense of humor, we were blessed to have Margaret Mary as our Mother!

Marg is preceded in death by her husband J. Edgar Fennie and three older brothers, John, William and Joseph. She is survived by her sister, Mary Crandell, sons, Patrick (Diana), Christopher (Buffer), Ned (Veronica), Timothy (Shannon), Dennis, Matthew (Lisa) and Francis (Denise); 17 grandchildren and one great grandchild.

The family thanks the wonderful and kind staff at Amedysis Hospice and ComForCare for taking such great care of our Mom and Grandma.
