Margaret is also survived by her granddog, Teddy, who maintained a constant guard over her in her final years; and her dear friend of 30 years, Jean Dugas; along with special friend, Susie Levitt.

She worked for 19 years in the trust department of a downtown bank where she did federal estate tax returns. Special thanks to Anne and Lisa who took such loving care of Peggy the last year and a half and were very devoted to her. Thank you also to Brittany and Linda from Celtic Healthcare whose support and friendship were greatly appreciated. Everyone always said how beautiful Peggy was, but her true beauty was on the inside.
