<\/a>Margaret J. Brennan (nee Galligan), \u201cMargie\u201d, 87, of Norwood, formerly of Bergenfield, passed away on Wednesday, June 28, 2023. Beloved wife of the late James P. Brennan. Cherished mother of James and wife Terri of Narragansett, RI, Patrick and wife Nancy of Las Vegas, NV, George and wife Virginia of Havertown, PA and Maryanne Dillon and her husband Thomas of Ramsey. Proud and devoted grandmother of James, Thomas, Kieran, Aleen, Maggie and Brigit. Dearest daughter of the late Bernard (County Cavan) and Kitty Galligan (County Mayo) and sister of Thomas Galligan and the late Kay Collins and Mary Ruehl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margie grew up on 133rd Street in Vinegar Hill, later moving to 175th Street in Washington Heights. She often shared fond memories of growing up with her cousins in New York\u2019s Irish neighborhoods. She graduated from Father Young Academy and worked at Manufacturer\u2019s Trust, where she caught the eye of a young Jimmy Brennan. They married in 1959 and bought their first home in Bergenfield, NJ where they spent the next thirty years raising their family.  Jim and Margie were active parishioners at St. John the Evangelist Church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margie was a teacher\u2019s aide at Mt. Carmel School in Tenafly for over 30 years. She also was co-owner of the Bergenfield School of Irish Dancing, where she taught hundreds of children to dance for over 40 years. She later enjoyed teaching adults to dance at Fox Hill in Norwood. Her love of Irish music, dancing, and culture were central in her life, and she took great joy in keeping these traditions alive in the next generation, as well as in her own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their later years, Margie and Jim moved to Norwood, NJ and joined St. Anthony\u2019s parish in Northvale, NJ. They enjoyed their time living at Fox Hill Manor, where they kept busy on committees organizing the various holiday parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margie will be dearly missed by her many family members and friends, but her spirit, love and laughter lives on. Sl\u00e1n go f\u00f3ill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
