DiBartolo, Margaret E. PETERSBURGH Margaret Elizabeth DiBartolo entered eternal life Monday, June 26, 2017, at home. Margaret was born on January 17, 1924, in the Bronx, the daughter of James Doran and Mary Marmion Doran. Margaret graduated from James Madison High School at 16, having skipped a grade, and served as senior class president. A member of the school choir, Margaret had a beautiful singing voice, and sang with the choir at Carnegie Hall. Margaret was widowed twice, first losing her husband James J. Geehan in 1964, and then losing her second husband of 45 years, Carmine J. DiBartolo, in 2011. Both were World War II veterans, and Margaret helped with the war effort as well. Margaret was a longtime resident of Dutchess County, and following the death of Carmine, she made Petersburgh her home. She came from a large Irish Catholic family, and was predeceased by her brothers, James and Patrick; and her two sisters, Mary and Kathleen. She is survived by two sisters, Josephine and Eileen.

I am so sorry for your loss. May the God who binds up the broken hearted and comforts all who mourn strengthen you during this difficult time (Isaiah 61:1,2). Jesus promises that those in the memorial tombs will come out (John 5:28,29). In harmony with Gods original purpose, those resurrected will have the opportunity to live on a paradise earth (Luke 23:43). This promised future includes perfect health and everlasting life! Revelation 21:3,4.
Already years are passing by and some still morn Margaret s loss, for others we miss her but go on with our lives. Margaret prayed the Lords Prayer and didnt realize it but she will return to life, like Lazarus, here with us. When Gods son offered his life as a ransom, John 3:16, one of the aspects of it was everlasting life. Also Jesus states that all those in memorial tombs and graves will come out to life again here, John 5:28&29;. So Margaret has a secure future. It will be wonderful to see her again. Truly a wonderful day ahead.
