Margaret Ann McCarthy

June 27, 1931 — November 10, 2020

Margaret Ann McCarthy, 89, of Owensboro, passed away Tuesday, November 10, 2020 at the Carmel Home. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky to the late Alphonsus and Bernadine L. Kamuf Schadler.

Mrs. McCarthy had a strong faith and was a very active member of St. Elizabeth Catholic Church, where her activities included Altar Society, serving funeral meals and cleaning the church and rectory. She was a loving and dedicated homemaker. In the early years before marriage and family, she was employed by General Electric. She had a heart for the elderly and assisted them in many ways, including work as a caregiver and volunteer work at Daviess County Hospital. Mrs. McCarthy also volunteered with the Daviess County School System, especially the old West Louisville Elementary School, where she read to students. Her time with family was treasured and she will long be remembered for her many fine qualities, sense of humor and recipes, especially her fried chicken, coconut cream pie and sweet rolls.

Mrs. McCarthy was preceded in death by her husband of forty-nine years, James D. McCarthy in 1999;
