Margaret A. Geraghty (Flanagan), a lifelong resident of Malden, passed away Monday August7th, 2023.
Margaret was born in Malden on January 27th, 1947, the youngest daughter of William Flanagan and Eleanor (Kierstead). She was predeceased by her parents, her sister Kathleen Curran and brothers Arthur, John and William Flanagan and survived by her sister Mary Duhy.She loved telling stories of family parties with Irish songs sung by her brothers and loved being part of a  large family with many nieces and nephews whom she loved. Raised and educated in Malden, Meg  was a proud graduate of Girls Catholic High School, where she held lifelong cherished friendships. he went on to study at Malden Hospital School of Nursing where she found her calling of becoming a nurse. Meg was a kind and generous soul and was always helping someone in need; she was a natural born caretaker. She led by example and showed kindness in her work and life every day. Working as a nurse was a great source of pride for her.
But it was her role as loving mother to Kevin, Chris and Katie and grandmother that was Meg’s life’s joy. Though her road was not always easy, Meg persevered and lived for her family. Her grandchildren Matthew, Carrolynne, Molly, Evan and Jack were what kept her heart full and brought her joy. She was utterly devoted to her grandchildren, bragged about them daily and snuck them candy as often as she could.
She was actively involved in every parent organization as her kids were growing up, and was
first to start a fundraiser, help a friend and donate her time. She was an expert cake decorator, hard core Boston sports fan, avid reader, lover of Hallmark movies, and a self- proclaimed bingo nut. Meg loved few things more than a Brigham’s hot fudge sundae and a great patriotic singalong. The stories of people whose lives she touched with a simple kindness
is long and she will be forever missed. She is survived and will be missed by her children, Kevin Geraghty and his wife Kristi , Christopher Geraghty, and Kathlen Conti and her husband Phil plus her beloved 5 grandchildren: Evan Conti, Jack Conti, Matthew Conti, Carrolynne Geraghty and Molly Conti.
