I am grateful to have met Maggie and to have had her as my friend. I loved her very much and she will always be in my heart as a beautiful memory. May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.
Maggie was a dear friend of mine that I have known and loved for 35 years. She was the friend that would accept you as is, no judgement. She would always make you laugh or try to feed you. I cherish the fun times we had together and feel blessed for our friendship. Our world is a better place because she was in it. She may be gone but will never be forgotten. ♥♥♥
My thoughts and prayers to Margaret’s entire family during this time. I knew her while working at PMI and remember her as always helping others, remaining calm during hectic times and willing to provide reassuring thoughts and assistance to anyone in need. She had a wonderful sense of humor and would look for the bright side in everything. I was saddened to hear of her passing and know she will be missed by her many friends and loved ones.
I’m so saddened by Margaret’s passing. We worked together while at PMI and although not directly I always recall Margaret’s calm and rational demeanor. I am thankful for the time that I was able to know her and so very sorry for the loss to her family and friends.
To my dear dear friend college roommate “partner in crime” . To the one who gave me ” crows feet@ from laughing too much! I shall miss you !
We are so saddened to have lost Margaret. She was our dear friend and one of my favorite people. I was fortunate to hire her at Irwin and again at PMI which started and maintained our friendship. We’re sorry not to be able to attend the service. Our thoughts are with Phillip and the entire Terranova/Judge family.
My thoughts and memories will always be with you Margaret.
My thoughts and prayers are with Phillip and his family. Margaret was a dear friend.
Phillip your mom was a very sweet lady and I know how much and proud she was
of you . She will be missed but she will always be in your thoughts.
Every year, I think about Margaret on her birthday, October 10th. I decided to do something about it today, to google her to see if I could find a phone number and surprise her with a birthday greeting. I am so saddened to find this obituary notice! She and I worked in the same industry but never really together. We used to have long chats back in the day. I don’t think we ever met in person, but I always considered her a friend.
My deepest condolences to all of you who lost Margaret more than 2 years ago. I hope your hearts are healing and that have you found some peace.
I just found out about Margaret’s passing today while browsing old friends in Ancestry. I worked with Margaret several years at PMI Mortgage insurance from 1983 through 1994. I lost touch with her after the closing of the San Ramon ‘pool’ insurance office in June 1994. She came back to PMI years later and I had a nice conversation with her in the lobby of the new PMI office in Walnut Creek a few years before I left PMI and again at one of the PMI Holiday parties. She was invited to my home a few times for dinner and brunch when we worked together. She was a very nice lady and I have fond memories of her. I am sorry for her loss and condolences to her son, Phillip.
