Age 88, of Baldwin Borough, originally from Carrick, passed away peacefully on Saturday morning, April 19, 2025, surrounded by her loving family at her residence. She was born June 26, 1936 in Pittsburgh, the daughter of the late Chester Forbes and Dorothy Bishop. Margaret is survived and greatly missed by her loving husband of 63 years, James Michael Matus; and her five children Laura (Tim) Timko, James (Natalie) Matus, Thomas (Susan) Matus, Steven (Stephanie) Matus, and Susan (Scott) Harding. Forever loved, cherished and remembered by her eight grandchildren Christopher (Carly Hoffman) Timko, Sarah Timko (Seth Dawson), Jordan Matus, Megan Harding (Nolan Foster), Brad (Haley Marra) Matus, Nicole Matus, Bailey Harding, Paige Matus; and two great grandchildren Jameson and Jett Matus who she affectionately referred to as “Knuckles” and “Stick”; and also many treasured neighbors and friends. Those who knew Marge will remember her for kind heartedness and devotion to her family. She was a loyal member of Nativity Church, a dedicated homemaker, and enjoyed her time working at Hills. She found joy in sewing, playing Bingo, reading, and spending time with her family. Although Marge's physical presence may no longer grace our lives, her spirit will continue to inspire us. Her memory is a blessing and her light will forever shine brightly in our hearts. We will miss her. Friends will be received at the John F.
