King of Prussia

Margaret M. Wertan passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, May 21, 2026 at her residence in King of Prussia, PA. She was 76 years old. Margaret attended J. W. Hallahan Catholic Girls’ High School in Center City Philadelphia. She started work at the First Pennsylvania Bank, straight out of high school, before advancing to SEI Investments in the Private Banking & Trust Group, as a client service manager. Margaret was an avid book reader, a Philadelphia E-A-G-L-E-S fan, who freely spoke her mind. She had always shown quiet strength and fierce independence; she had a passion for history and a profound supportive love for animals.

Born in Philadelphia, PA on January 5, 1950, she was a daughter of the late Vincent R. and Anna Agnes (Lewis) Wertan.

Better known as Peggy to her loving family, Margaret is survived by her sister, Joanne Griffith (late William); her brother, Vincent W. Wertan (MaryAnn); as well as her nieces, nephews and greats. She is preceded in death by her brother, Robert T. Wertan, (life-long friend, Carol Llewellyn) and her dearest companion, Lynn Otremski Albright.

Margaret’s neighbors and work colleagues, Bob Thierry, Sarah Rittenhouse, Lisa Squillace have remained steadfast friends following her recent retirement from SEI.
