Margaret Mary Albaugh's Obituary
Margaret Mary Albaugh, 71, passed away on Wednesday, March 15th in the comfort of her own home in Strongsville, Ohio.
She was born on September 6th, 1951 to the late Tom and Mary Louderback in Braddock, Pennsylvania.
Margaret went to Parma Senior High School and graduated in the class of 1969. Following high school, she continued her education at Ohio State University and Baldwin Wallace College obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in Business.
She married William Albaugh on October 16th, 1980. They had been together for 37 years before his passing in 2017.
Before Margarets retirement in 2018, she worked at Creative Playrooms in Independence where she was a teacher. She cherished all of her former students and families as her own.
She loved her grandchildren and "grandpups." The holidays were her favorite and being as crafty as she was, she did not shy away from decorating. In her free time she enjoyed watching Law & Order, and acting like she was a detective herself.
Margaret is survived by her daughter Megan DiFranco; her favorite caregiver and police officer Jason Glover; siblings Thomas and John (Kristen) Louderback; grandchildren Davin, Donovan, and Delaney; "grandpups" Moose, Pebbles, Zeus, and Zelda; and her adopted "grandpups" Lyla, Carmen, and Rocky.
In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her son Patrick Albaugh.
VISITATION will be held on Sunday, March 19th from 2pm - 6pm at JARDINE FUNERAL HOME, 15822 Pearl Road, Strongsville. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Monday, March 20th at 10am at St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Brunswick. Interment will take place at All Saints Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Cuyahoga County Animal Shelter in her name.
