Margaret M. Fehon

November 19, 1942 – December 26, 2025

Margaret Mary (“Maggie”) Fehon, 83, passed peacefully into eternal life on December 26, 2025. Born in Jersey City and a resident of West Orange for 58 years, she relocated in 2022 to Sicklerville. Predeceased by her husband, Edward Allan Fehon; her parents, James A. Crotty and Kathleen (McMann) Crotty; siblings James Crotty, Eileene Hutchinson, Kathleen Crotty, Sheila Crotty, and Joseph Crotty. Survived by children James E. (Cynthia) Fehon, Melissa (Anthony) Verardi, and Alexis Fehon (Greg Bomba); grandchildren Anthony Verardi, Julia Verardi, and Stephen E. Fehon. Also survived by her sisters Maureen Sweeney and Patricia Kennedy, sister-in-law Joanne Crotty, and many nieces and nephews.

Maggie was a proud graduate of Immaculate Conception High School in Montclair, where she lettered in basketball. After high school, she worked for Colonial Life Insurance Company where she formed several dear, life-long friendships. She later worked as a bookkeeper and customer service associate in two retail flower shops in Livingston and Cedar Grove. Maggie volunteered with her husband at St. Joseph’s Church in West Orange and in a community soup kitchen. Her most cherished role came later in life when she became “Grandma Maggie” to her three grandchildren. She loved hosting her extended family, friends, and neighbors in her home, and enjoyed several decades of memorable family vacations in Barnegat Light, the Catskills, and the Poconos.
