Margaret Gawron

Margaret (Conneely) Gawron, 98, passed away on February 23, 2025. She was the wife of the late John A. Gawron, with whom she shared 25 years of marriage.

Margaret was born in Rusheeney, Oughterard, Co. Galway, Ireland in 1926. She bravely immigrated to Boston at the age of 24 in search of greater opportunities for herself and future generations. While working at the Crowninshield estate in Marblehead, she met her future husband, John Gawron. They married and moved to Danvers in 1955, where they both worked a small farm and raised their daughter, Mary.

She is survived by her daughter, Mary and loving husband Laurent Perreault, her beloved grandchildren, Joan (Anton) and Marc (Vennie) and her precious great grandchildren, August, Leon, Henry and Samuel, her devoted nieces Patsy, Joan, Peggy, MaryAnn, Marie, Barbara, Gay, Joyce and nephews Martin, William and Mark in the US, as well as her many nieces and nephews in Ireland and her friend and longtime neighbor, Karen (Bogel) Torkildsen. She was predeceased by her seven siblings, John Joe, Tim, Mary, Julia, Delia, Patrick and Tom.
