My belated condolences to the family - I used to work for Peggy at Hecht's in Marlow Heights and I loved watching her do her thing! She will be missed I am sure - something made me think of her recently which leg me to search her name....I had her last address in Crofton and did not send out Christmas cards last year. So sorry again and God bless you all and her memory, Patricia (Patty) Folsom nee Perzan

In the late 80's Peg and her sister were our wonderful neighbors at


























When Sister Mary Virginia and I lived in Queenstown, Peg and her sister lived across the hall from us. What a wonderful neighbor she was! She was always willing to help us and several of our other, older neighbors there. She lived a wonderful life. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.
