Margaret Ella Lunn Mcgrath

Margaret Ella Lunn McGrath Margaret 'Peg' McGrath left her earthly world on December 1, 2013 at her home in Prescott, AZ. Peg was born on January 9, 1923 to Cora and Dr. Frank 'Doc' Lunn and grew up in Payne, Ohio. Peg was the fifth born of eleven children to Cora and Doc, and was always very proud of her large family and growing up in the farming community where her father served as the town's only veterinarian, and that he was a graduate of Peg's beloved Ohio State University. Peg married William McGrath (Bill) while he was stationed in Ft. Wayne, Indiana in 1944. They had three daughters and lived in Wolcott, CT until 1961, when they moved to Phoenix, AZ. Bill was an insurance adjuster and in 1967, a job move was made to Thousand Oaks, CA. It was there Peg and Bill bought a home and Bill died in 1973. Peg loved her home in Thousand Oaks and remained there until 2000 when she moved to her home she had previously purchased in Prescott in 1983 to be closer to her children. Peg is survived by her three daughters: Patricia Corcoran, of Phoenix, Susan Gaff (Michael, died 2009), and Margaret 'Peggy' Nelson (Kevin), both of Paulden. She is also survived by three grandsons Michael Corcoran, Kyle and Chad Nelson; one granddaughter Marianne Corcoran; and two great grandchildren; two sisters and one brother and numerous nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her good friend Martin Kaniecki of Cottonwood.
