Obituary of Margaret "Peggy" Madaras

Margaret “Peggy” Madaras (Langan), of Short Hills, NJ, was welcomed by the Lord on Friday, March 20, 2026, at the age of 94.

Born in the Bronx, NY, raised in South Orange, NJ, and a longtime resident of Short Hills, Peggy lived a life defined by faith, family, and generosity. 

A devout Catholic, she held a deep and abiding faith, always believing that St. Anthony, St. Joseph, and Mary, the Queen Mother, would forever protect and guide those she loved. Her legacy of unwavering faith will live on in all who were blessed to know her.

Peggy was a gifted knitter, known for her generous spirit. Many who knew her were fortunate to receive one of her handmade creations; each stitch was a reflection of her love and a testament to her talent.

She is survived by her loving children & their spouses, cherished grandchildren & their spouses, and great-grandchildren, all of whom were the center of her world. 

A Memorial Mass will be held at a later date with further details shared by the family.
