Margarete Wasilieff
January 6, 1922 — May 27, 2018
Margarete (Turek) Wasilieff, 96, of New London, NH, formerly of Manchester, CT, wife of the late Wesley McMullen, passed away peacefully on Sunday, May 27, 2018. Margarete was born in Manchester on January 6, 1922, to the late Jacob and Katherine (Bensche) Turek.
She led a full, productive, and amazingly healthy life up until her last few years. Never one to be idle, her interests were many and varied, from volunteering at Manchester Memorial Hospital, to event staffing at Uconn, to singing with the Manchester Symphony Orchestra and Chorale, to delivering Meals on Wheels, to participating in numerous classes at MCTC and Adult Evening School programs at MHS. Margarete was also a Girl Scout Leader for many years. There were always one or more current projects - knitting, crocheting, basket making, rug hooking, sewing, painting, furniture building, stenciling, to name but a few! Her vivid interest in travel culminated with an Elderhostel dream trip to Norway in 2005.
She supported her grandchildren wholeheartedly, attending every school, music, and sporting event that she possibly could.
Margarete was a school secretary at Manchester High School for the majority of her working years, and then transferred to Verplanck School before she retired. She was a lifelong member of Concordia Lutheran Church in Manchester and sang in the choir there until 4 years ago when she went to New Hampshire to live with her daughter.
Margarete leaves behind her daughter, Kathleen Almond and her husband David of New London, NH; her three grandchildren Timothy, Heather and Rebekka Almond; a brother Robert Turek and his wife Barbara of Silver Spring, MD; a sister Mildred Scott and her husband Ernest of Manchester, CT; and many loving and caring nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her older brother and sister-in-law Henry and Betty Turek.
A funeral service for Margarete will be celebrated on Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 11:00 at Concordia Lutheran Church, 40 Pitkin St, Manchester. A reception will follow at the church. There will be no calling hours. Memorial contributions may be made in her name to Concordia Lutheran Church or to the Manchester Scholarship Foundation at manchesterscholarship.org.
