Margaret Mary Curlett

With her family beside her, Margaret Mary Hartmann Curlett passed from this life into the next on October 15th, 2023. Born on June 1st, 1945, “Peggi”, as her family and friends knew her, grew up in Glenside, PA. She graduated from Gwynedd Mercey academy in 1963 and went on to attend Marywood University where she graduated in 1967. She was a teacher at Spring House Elementary in Pennsylvania until 1981 when she had a daughter, Katie and later a son, Tim in 1983. She raised her family with her husband of ten years, Howard Curlett III in the town of Pennington, NJ. Peggi was a stay-at-home mom extraordinaire who specialized in making a house a home where everyone was always welcome-humans and animals alike. Starting in 1993 she began working for Catholic Charities fostering infants who were waiting for adoption, loving each one of them as if they were her own. She loved card games and her holiday parties were unrivaled. Her favorite place in the world was Long Beach Island and she spent many wonderful summers there with her family. She felt strongly about volunteering and was often present at school functions or town events offering help wherever needed, including announcing at summer swim meets, teaching CCD, PTO, girl scouts, Pennington Day, and so much more. In her later years she built relationships through nannying and helping students with their college applications. In 2014 she moved to Stratham, NH to be closer to family but continued to cheer passionately for both the Phillies and the Eagles. She was fiercely devoted to her faith and her family. Her grandchildren adored their “Oma” and were often at her house spending time and enjoying all the numerous snacks she always had ready for them. On October 15th she was reunited with her family that has gone before her including her parents Francis and Mathilde Hartmann, her sister and brother-in-law Joan Marie and Hugh Brent Bamberger, brother-in-law Joseph McFadden and her nephew Thomas McFadden. She is survived by daughter Kathleen M. Latimer and husband Zachary and their children Patrick, Quinn, and Collin of Stratham, NH, son Timothy J.H.Curlett and wife Erin and their two children Jacob and Henry of Steilacoom, WA, brother Francis X. Hartmann and his wife Karen of Cambridge, MA, sister Gerturde McFadden of Tampa, FL and many nieces, nephews and cousins. A funeral mass will be held on Monday October 23rd at 11 am at Saint James Church at 115 E. Delaware Ave. Pennington, NJ 08534. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Anchor House, 482 Centre St. Trenton, NJ 08611 or online at www.anchorhousenj.org
