Margaret "Peggy" McMahon

Our Sweet P was the best nurse in the PGH class of `66. We called her Super Nurse.

Thank you, Ma´am, for your service. Barbara Gilbert, COL (R), AN; Director, Region 1, Army Nurse Corps Association

Peggy always greated you with her big beautiful smile no matter what she was doing! She was a wonderful educator as well as a beautiful human being! She was an asset to Atlanticare, the ENA, and whatever else she took on. God, you have a great one in Peggy! Thank you for you service, Peggy . You will definitely be missed.

She was a wonderful neighbor full of humor and kindness who loved our dogs and shared her love of her own dog. We will miss your kindness. God give you every love and kindness you gave to others 100 fold.

I will miss you Peggy.
Thanks for your dedication and service
Not just to MTHS; to every life you embraced and made better.
Sweet dreams.

Peggy What a pleasure to work with you at ENA and honored for us to stand together on emergency disaster medicine over the years. You miss be missed and very grateful to you!

Peggy's mother and my father Howard Phillips were a second, late life, marriage. She was always a welcoming presence. We remember the joy she and her family brought to Howard in his later life and offer our condolences to all her loved ones.

Peggy, you will be missed. I treasure our time in Washington State when we were "pioneers in Emergency Nursing", preaching that we're an Emergengy Department (ED), not just a room, developing and establishing the CEN progam and promoting disaster planning & preparedness. We also had many fun times with our ENA friends and colleagues I think of you often and am so grateful for having known you. Rest in peace, dear friend, your shift is over.

Peggy was a mentor and a friend. She was the example for me of the nurse I wanted to be. Her "lessons" in compassion rang in my head throughout my career serving to re-center me when I strayed from that fundamental pillar of nursing. But even more than that her service to our nation, the citizens of this country no matter their socioeconomic status, and to our profession was a rare and beautiful thing. She had/has an impact that will be felt over decades. Peggy will be missed but will...
