Marguerite “Margie” McNamara Daly passed away February 26, 2019 after suffering from a long-term illness. She was 72. Margie was born in San Francisco, CA to Francis McNamara and Marie (Connolly) McNamara on October 22, 1946. She was raised in San Leandro, CA as one of five children, and the youngest daughter.

She also lived in Pleasanton, CA for many years prior to relocating to Truckee, CA in 1983 to be closer to family.
Margie will be affectionately remembered for her thoughtful and fun-loving nature. She had an incredibly kind spirit with an enormous caring heart.

You’ve come to the end of the road, and your soul has been set free. You will always live on in our hearts. She will be greatly missed.
