Margaret 'Terry' Black Cosgrove, 81

Margaret "Terry" Black Cosgrove died on Labor Day, 2024, in Missoula just short of her 82nd birthday. 

She was preceded in death by her parents, Hugh and Margaret Black, and brothers Lucky and Roscoe Black.

She is survived by her children, Tracy Cosgrove (Tim Gordon) of Missoula, Kevin Cosgrove of Minneapolis, Erin Cosgrove (Hirsch Perlman) of Los Angeles; grandsons Forest Tresidder of California, and Donal Lakatua of Missoula; siblings Hugh Black (Mary Grace) of Helena, Patsy Huberty (Bob) of St. Paul, Minnesota, and Sally Welder (Terry) of Kalispell; and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

She loved St. Mary, books, her spiritual practice, horses, bad puns, singing cowboy songs (often off-key but always with exuberance), miracles, mysteries, puzzles, and bridge. But the greatest share of her heart belonged to her family and friends. We will miss her shining smile.

A memorial will be held at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27, at the Knights of Columbus in Missoula. Donations may be made to the Jeannette Rankin Women’s Scholarship Fund c/o the Montana Community Foundation in Helena, or to the Poverello Center of Missoula.
