She worked at the Natick Trust Company prior to getting married and raising her family. She later operated a successful ceramics business for many years. Peggy and Joe built a cottage on a lake in Maine where she enjoyed many years with family and friends and this was her favorite place.  Peggy also enjoyed the challenge of her daily crosswords, and trips to the casino.

Peggy will be remembered for her loving, compassionate and generous nature. She never hesitated to open her home to those in need.  She was committed to her family and her faith.  Peggy had 4 children, 10 grandchildren and 8 great- grandchildren.
