A special thanks to 3HC Hospice for your help in the last weeks of her life. Peggy lived in Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey until her life brought her to Long Island New York where she enjoyed many dear friends and the beach life. Retirement finally brought her to New Bern with her husband John and son Jack. She was extremely proud of her Irish heritage, 100% Irish through and through! Peggy was a devout Catholic, a trophy bridge player, hospital auxiliary volunteer, a second mate to her sailor John, a dear mother and a great friend, a lover of flowers, the Lord and a good laugh! Always a class act. She had one good, long ride. We love you so! You will be missed. XOXO
