MADISON - Margaret E. Roisum passed away on Tuesday, Feb. 1, 2022. She was born on July 24, 1928, in Hub City, Wis., to Charles and Catherine (Slaney) O’Neill and was a lifelong Madison resident. She was a graduate of Central High School and enjoyed staying in touch with her friends and classmates. She married the love of her life, Roger Roisum, on June 25, 1949.

Margaret was a member of St. Dennis Parish and was proud that she was one of its founding members.
