Margaret A. Nenninger -- beloved wife, mother, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother -- 74, of Cape Girardeau left this life surrounded by her family and husband of 52 years on Monday, Dec. 14, 2020, at Saint Francis Medical Center.
She was born May 15, 1946, in Londonderry, Northern Ireland, to the late James and Mary McHugh Doherty.
She and Charles Nenninger were married April 17, 1968, in Northern Ireland.
She led such a full life of love and fun. She danced her way into the arms of her husband, Charles, and will be remembered always for her love of the dance floor.
She had an amazing love of life and a sassy Irish attitude that gave everyone a laugh. She loved with her whole heart and lived to have her family around her. It goes without saying, she will be missed beyond measure, but her family knows she is safe in the arms of God and that she is in Heaven.
Loving survivors include her husband, Charles Nenninger of Cape Girardeau; son, Lawrence (Amanda) Nenninger of Scott City; daughters, Kathy (Josh) Hazan of St. Louis and Martina Shaw of Cape Girardeau; brother, Willie Doherty of Northern Ireland; sister, Patsy Gillespie of Northern Ireland; grandchildren, Zachary Shaw, Wesley (Sydney) Shaw, Maximus Hazan, Jaxon Nenninger and Bristol Nenninger; great-grandchild, Parker Shaw.
She was preceded in death by her parents, one brother and two sisters.
Visitation will be from 10 a.m. until noon Friday at Ford and Sons Mount Auburn Funeral Home.
Funeral service will follow at noon with Pastor Doug Collison officiating. Burial will follow at Cape County Memorial Park Cemetery.
