Besides her parents, Margaret was preceded in death by four sisters, Victoria Sefcik, Mary Baluck, Helen Hamrock and Anne Callan; and one brother, Joseph Christoff.
A prayer service will be held Wednesday at 10:15 a.m. at the Davis-Becker Funeral Home, 8536 Market St., Boardman. A Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 11 a.m. at St. Christine Church with Father Michael Swierz officiating. Interment will follow at Calvary Cemetery, Youngstown.
