Cumberland,

Margaret T. Bannon, 89, passed away on Tuesday, May 17, 2022, in the Miriam Hospital, Providence. She was the wife of the late Paul D. Bannon Sr.

Born in Pawtucket, she was the daughter of the late John and Helen (McFarland) Tomei. Margaret "Peggy" resided in Cumberland for the past 60 years, previously residing in Pawtucket.

What Peggy enjoyed most, was spending time with her family. Any day amongst them was "the best day ever." She stayed sharp by mastering word games and Sudoko; and closely following the news. She was known for her kindness, compassion, and selflessness. She was considered by many to be a "second mom."

She was a registered nurse for 49 years, starting her career in pediatrics and completing her career in geriatrics with the Grandview Nursing Home, Cumberland.

She is survived by her children; Paul D. Bannon II and his wife Laurie of Sandwich, MA; Karen K. Burke of Sandwich, MA; Johanna H. MacDonald and her husband Paul of Cumberland and Noelle H. Morin and her husband Brian of Smithfield. Her brother Ralph J. Tomei and his wife Sandra of Seekonk, MA. Nine grandchildren; Kaylee Burke; Jarrod Bannon; Andrew Bannon; Zachary Bannon; Abigail Burke; Sarah Burke; Jack MacDonald; Brianne Morin; and Noah Morin.
