Saturday, May 16, 2015 at home surrounded by her family.
Peggy was born and raised in Old New Castle. She taught at both St. Peter’s and Ursuline Academy. In 2008 she and her husband, Ronnie, moved to Lewes. Peggy was very active in the Lewes Yacht Club, serving on many committees and as a former Secretary and Rear Commodore on the board. She also volunteered her time at St. Peter’s Parish Council, Arasapha Garden Club, and Ursuline Academy.
Peggy loved smocking and started a smocking group called the Diamond State Stitchers, in Wilmington, DE. Her true passion was spending time with her family, especially her grandson, Jack.
