Margaret (Acker) Obituary
She always loved hosting family gatherings and the holidays, and she was most happy when everyone could share these times together. Margaret also had many interests, including cooking and baking, gardening, enjoying music and attending concerts, golf, rooting for her favorite New England sports teams (Go Red Sox and Patriots!), and traveling with Jesse. She was always available for a call – long or short, and she was attentive and thoughtful.
Margaret is survived by her beloved husband of 28 years, Jesse Blardo, her sons Tim (Meaghan), Ben (Leanna), and Pete Fox, her three stepchildren Thomas, Mary-Beth, and Jason Blardo, her six siblings, Christine Neligon, Michael Acker, Elizabeth Bolanger, Thomas Acker, Andrew Acker, and Matthew Acker, and her many nieces and nephews. She will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you donate to the American Cancer Society at www.cancer.org.

I have so many fond memories of Margaret. Every Christmas Eve all the cousins got together at Nanny Acker´s house on Hugh Street in West Hartford. After Nanny passed, we gathered at Margaret´s parent´s house. Those were great times. Later in life, Margaret and her husband held an Acker family reunion when Shirley, Alan, Marge and my father Donald were all still alive. This was the last time those four saw each other. Margaret will be missed.
