Read MoreI loved Peg very much. She touched so many people's lives and to this day had so many good friends. I talked with her about 2 weeks ago and she told me that she was tired and didn't think she was going to make it to 110. She told me a couple of years ago that she wasn't ready to go but she would let me know when she was. I guess this was her way of telling me. My condolences go out to her family. I will miss her very much.

Peg was a very conscientious lady. Peg was a Registered Nurse where she home in on detail, as demonstrated by her book "My Journey of a Century". When you walked Into her room, she knew what she wanted, when she wanted it and where it was. On several occasions she would say to me "When you do what is morally right, you can't be wrong". It became a pleasure being with her. Peg's wisdom will be greatly missed.

Peggy was a great lady. We were fortunate enough to be her neighbor on Fernwood Drive in Hampden for many years. She was a joy to know. She had a great personality and was good to all the children on our street.

Peg was a great and lovely woman! It was a pleasure to care for her years ago at Life Care. She was full of infinite wisdom that i looked forward hearing each night when i worked. I love her book and the fact that she cared and did so much for Schriners. I spoke with her so much about this as my children are patients there still to this day. She will be forever loved and remembered. God bless.

Peg was a beautiful woman inside and out. I started working at Life Care in 2016. Life Care was my first Aid job and I struggled at first. Peg was always there to remind me of all the good I was doing and that I was doing a marvelous (as she always said) job. She has a beautiful soul and my condolences to all of Pegs friends and family, the world lost a great woman.

Peg was a wonderful woman and although I was only able to be her friend for just under 5 years while working in activities at Life Care Center of Wilbraham, I enjoyed her verve for life. She was always willing to read poems during memorial services honoring the friends she lost at Life Care. She loved her family and was always raving about their lives. She brought joy to all who knew her. My deepest sympathies to her family. My prayers are with you all.
