Margaret A. Coon

Margaret A. Coon, 75, formerly of Fairmount, passed away quietly and peacefully Thursday morning, April 3, 2008 at Loretto after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease. She was known to just about everyone who knew her as Peg or Peggy. After graduating from Solvay High School in 1950, Peg worked for more than 40 years at Merchants National Bank and its successor banks, retiring as assistant cashier of the Commercial Loan Dept. She enjoyed gardening and photography. Peg was predeceased by her father and mother, Frederic W. and Margaret H. Coon of Westvale; brothers, Frederic W. Coon Jr. and Robert C. Coon and nephew, Michael C. Coon. Surviving are her sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Robert Metz of Camillus; brothers and sisters-in-law, Edward H. and Carmela Coon of Liverpool, William F. and Cheryl Coon of Cedarvale, and Charles and Barbara Coon of Camillus; 14 nieces and nephews and many great-nieces and great-nephews. The family would like to recognize the excellent care - and caring that Peg received at Loretto, especially the love shown to her by the nurses and aides on the 11th floor of the Cunningham Building. Services will be at 9:30 a.m. Monday, April 7, 2008 at the Buranich Funeral Home, 5431 W. Genesee St., Camillus and at 10 a.m. in St. Joseph's Church where a funeral Mass will be celebrated.
