Obituary
Margaret Ann Ferracane, born in Cassleton, North Dakota, August 12, 1930, passed away peacefully at home on July 18, 2025. She was one of twelve children who worked on the family farm in North Dakota. She came to Watsonville at age 19 to work for her uncle George Schipper and later her brother Bob Pollock as a bookkeeper.
It was here that she met Phillip Ferracane. They married on January 19, 1958, raising three wonderful children: David, Karen, and Nancy. Margo, as she was affectionately called, was an avid baker, gardener, Golden State Warriors fan, and a kind and loving mom.
The family would like to THANK Doctor Eby, Doctor Dulbecco, and Hospice of Santa Cruz County for their great care and compassion. Margo is preceded by her loving husband, Phillip Ferracane (2012). She is survived by her children: David (Peggy) Ferracane, Karen Major (Willie), Nancy McKenna (Patrick); grandkids: Michael Ferracane (Erica), Amy Ferracane (Brad), Chad Major, Phillip Major, Kaylee Leal, Catherine Leal; her brothers and sisters: David Pollock (Jackie), Judy Peterson (Curt), Dorothy Prindiville, Patsy Schultz (Larry), Linda Hill (Darryl). She also leaves her precious great-grandkids which brought her so much joy, Cooper and Wyatt.
At Margo's request, there will be no services. Memorial donations can be made in Margaret's name to Hospice of Santa Cruz County.
Funeral arrangements were entrusted by Mehls Colonial Chapel.
