Margaret T Roe

Margaret “Peggy” Roe, 92, went to be with the Lord on the holy day of Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. A celebration of Mary's motherhood, January 1, 2025. She was predeceased by her husband Clifton “Duane” Roe, son Alan Roe, mother Barbara Hollis, father Thomas Racheck, brothers Thomas, Carl and Buddy Racheck, and sister Flo Hull.

She is survived by her son & daughter-in-law Rick & Marsha Roe; daughter Darlene Choberka, granddaughter Carrie; great grandchildren Chelsie, Naquaine, Joseapheina, Joshawa and Keyairra; great great grandchildren Baileigh, Colesyn, Torryn, Gianna and Cierra; brother Al Racheck and several nieces, nephews, cousins and special friends.

Peggy graduated from St. Paul’s Catholic School, Binghamton, NY and was a lifetime member of St. Mary of the Assumption Church, Binghamton, NY. She held several jobs throughout her lifetime excelling at each one. Before retiring in 1995 she worked as the Secretary for the Anthropology Department of Binghamton University for 15 years.

She enjoyed going with Duane each winter for 20 years to Bahr’s M. H. Park in Zephyrhills, Fl where they had many exceptional caring friends. She also enjoyed making Sunday family meals, reading, playing cards, bingo, dancing and going to casinos. Surprisingly, she deer hunted with Duane and was very successful at it! She loved spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was a woman of strong faith and ALWAYS saw the good in others. She was willing to listen and offer advice when asked. Peggy also took great pride and joy in her magnificent Christmas Village display that she loved having family, friends, neighbors, and especially children over to see.

We would like to send a special thank you to the staff of Absolut Center of Endicott, especially the Memory Care Unit for giving our mom so much love, compassion and exceptional care. We are very grateful to the community of the small town of Tunnel, NY for welcoming and loving the Roe family as part of their own 65 years ago!

The family will receive friends at the James V. DeMarco & Son Funeral Home, 737 Chenango Street, Port Dickinson on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, from 4-7pm. A Funeral Mass will be offered at St. Mary of the Assumption Church, 37 Fayette Street, Binghamton on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, 10am, burial will follow in Calvary Cemetery.
