Margaret "Peggy" Zorovich

She is survived by her loving family, husband George, children Darlene Brozowski (John), Matthew Zorovich, Christine King (James) and Peggy Ann Zorovich, grandchildren Calvin, Casey and Kelly, brother Frank Oliver and sister Rita Oliver. Predeceased by her parents Francis and Rita, and brother John. Also survived by many in-laws, nieces and nephews.

Peg was born in Wilkes Barre, PA on September 14, 1943 to Francis and Rita Oliver, and soon after

moved to Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan. She attended Sacred Heart, PS17 and Washington Irving schools.

She met her husband George in the neighborhood, married in 1962 and soon started a family. They

purchased a first house in Cresskill, NJ, and in 1967 moved into their newly built home in Washington

Township, where she lived until her passing.

Peg soon became involved in all of her children’s lives…from Brownie scout leader to baseball team mother and many roles in between, including involvement in the parish of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Never the wallflower, Peg also enjoyed an active social life, often entertaining friends and neighbors on Kennedy Drive.

She had also earned many trophies as a competitive tennis player, and enjoyed extensive travelling throughout North America with George due to his career, often being the first to get everyone up to dance. Her smile would light up any room.

Peg came from a time when dinner for a family of 6 was cooked from scratch most days of the week, a responsibility she excelled at and is appreciated for. She was proud that her four children went on to graduate from college.

George and Peg cherished the memory of the celebration of their 50th anniversary with friends and family in 2012, and surpassed the milestone of their 60th this last year.

In lieu of flowers a donation St Jude Research Hospital would be appreciated. www.stjude.org
