Margaret Elizabeth Behrens
Margaret Elizabeth Behrens, born Dec. 16, 1923, in Arlington, N.J., passed away on May 18, 2021, at the age of 97.
She was always a “Brooklyn Girl” who grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., when there were still farm fields in Flatbush and was heartbroken when the Dodgers left Ebbets Field in 1957.
She married her high school sweetheart, Richard Behrens, immediately after his discharge from the Army in 1945. She worked for the defense contractor Sperry during World War II as a mail room supervisor and later, while raising two children, Stephen and William, worked around their school schedule at the book publisher Doubleday in customer relations for their book club.
