Margaret M. Ratesic, age 91, originally from McKeesport, died May 5, 2024, at Westmoreland Manor. Born February 27, 1933, in McKeesport, she was the daughter of the late John and Erma (Brunori) Walker and wife of the late Edward Ratesic.  Margaret, better known as Peg or Peggy, had her kitchen always filled with the delightful aromas of her signature treats - hoho cake, cherry squares, 7-layer jello, and Christmas cookies, each made with love and shared generously with family and friends. Peg carried on the tradition of having family get togethers for holidays at her house, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter. She labored in the kitchen preparing for these celebrations by cooking turkey, ham, stuffed cabbage, breaded chicken, and her famous desserts.  In her younger years, Peg loved to bowl with her husband in a couples league, and go dancing at the Palisades in McKeesport. Peg had a fondness for bingo and the exhilaration of trips to Las Vegas with her husband, where she delighted in the bright lights, slot machines, and captivating shows. Most of all, Peg cherished the time spent with her grandchildren, showering them with love and affection. She loved to give generous gifts to her kids and grandkids, and holidays and birthdays were filled with hours of unwrapping all the treasures she had bought for everyone.
