Margaret May Zoppina age 88, of Burlington City passed away peacefully on March 15th, exactly 8 years to the day of her beloved husband, Vincent. She was known by many as Nan and was loved by all who knew her. She was born on Aug 31, 1932 in Exeter, England. She was a member of the Women’s Royal Army Corps in England. During her time of service she met her husband of 55 years. Together they moved to the United States where they raised their beloved family.  Margaret “Nan” worked as a school crossing guard for the Burlington City School District for many years. Students started their day with a kind word or hug from her when they arrived at her post. She loved to smile and wave at anyone that passed by her whether it was on her post or on her porch at home. When she wasn’t at her post it was a common sight to see her riding her bike through Burlington and always loved to stop for a conversation. Margaret “Nan” loved playing bingo and going to the casinos. She was a member of the ladies auxiliary for Neptune Hose Co. Her most memorable moments though were the times she spent with her family.
