Margaret A. DiNorscia, 94, of Kennett Square, died Saturday, Feb. 6.  She was the wife of Alfred J. DiNorscia, with whom she shared 72 years of marriage.  She was born on May 11, 1926, in Kennett Square to the late Eugene and Caroline (Vanore) DiFilippo.  In addition to her parents, Margaret was also predeceased by her brother, Robert DiFilippo, and sisters, Splendora Giuseppe and Virginia Feconda.

Margaret was a 1944 graduate of Kennett High School.  She was a longtime member of St. Patrick Church as well as the Ladies of St. Patrick’s.  For many years, Margaret was a homemaker, and when her children were grown, she spent time working as a bookkeeper for Rex Mushrooms and Losito Mushroom Packing Company, in the cafeteria at Kennett High School, and as a nurse’s aide at Kendal-Crosslands.

Margaret was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother.  She loved listening to music and prior to losing her eyesight, she enjoyed cooking, crafting, reading, and gardening. Most of all, Margaret loved having her family together for Sunday dinners and holidays; she was known for her homemade holiday soup and manicotti, and her famous chocolate cakes.  She was loving, kind, generous, and had a great sense of humor; her smile and contagious laugh could brighten any room.

In addition to her loving husband, Alfred, Margaret is also survived by two daughters, Carolyn Peppernick (Thomas) and Madelyn Behrends, and a son, Alfred J. DiNorscia, Jr., all of Kennett Square; eight grandchildren, Kristen Jellison (Darin), Stephanie Arriviello (Chris), Michael Odorisio (Rachael), Erica Spiekermann (Kyle), A.J.

Mrs. Mary “Hope” Ferguson Huber, 96, of Kennett Square, died peacefully on Tuesday, Feb. 9, following an illness. Born in Wayne, on July 12, 1924, she was the daughter of the late Thomas G. and Mary G. (Doyle) Ferguson.

Mrs. Huber attended St. Katharine of Siena School, graduating in the class of 1942.  She worked at Bell Telephone and Philadelphia Water Company and she would share many stories about her rain rides into Philadelphia. In the late 1950s, Hope was on a path to become a nun — that is until she met the love of her life, Edward Huber, a handsome man in the Army (she loved a man in uniform). They would enjoy a lovely marriage for more than 60 years, living in Aston, where she and her husband raised their family.  Hope and her husband retired and moved to Kennett Square to be close to their children and grandchildren. During their time in Kennett Square, they also met many dear friends.

Hope was a woman of incredible Catholic faith, a faith that she lived every day.  She leaves behind this wonderful gift of faith to her family.

In her free time, Hope loved hunting for a bargain and was the Queen of knick-knacks. She loved chocolate and anything sweet and her presence was felt where ever she was, and her sassy personality always made you smile, even in her final days. She had a wonderful love for animals and rescued three cats, Snowball, Tigger, and Holly.  Her favorite place was Cape May, N.J. with her beloved husband “Eddie.” Most of all, Hope dedicated much of her life unselfishly to her family whom she loved so much.

Mrs. Huber is survived by her children, Mark (Linda), Marie (Tom), and Anne (Harry), and she was an amazing grandmother to four grandchildren, Justin, Kristen, Kimberly, and John.

All services will be private.  Arrangements by the Kuzo Funeral Home, Kennett Square; please visit Mrs. Huber’s online memorial by going to www.kuzoandfoulkfh.com.
