MARGARET MESSER Obituary
Peggy was a devoted Catholic and dedicated mother first and foremost. She treasured her children and embraced every moment with them. She especially loved her role of Nana. Sunday dinners spent around the dinner table with her family in Popponesset Beach were among her happiest times.
Peggy made friends everywhere she went and once you were a friend, you were a friend for life. Whether it was the friends she collected while traveling, the local Birch Hill neighbors, the Real Estate "girls" of 25 years or the Popponesset "crew," she always enjoyed getting together for a meal to catch up on everyone's life. As one of Peggy's beloved friends often said about her "I love that lady, I love her!"
Peggy leaves five children, two sons: Edward and his wife Karen of Manchester, CT, Gregory and his wife Patty of Charlestown, MA, three daughters: Charlotte Gildea and her husband Mark of Bridgewater, MA, Elise DaCosta her late husband Joe of South Windsor, CT, Kara Forde and her husband Adrian of Sudbury, MA, and her thirteen grandchildren: Kayla and Ryan Messer, Erin, Billy, Meggie, Mark, Jr., and Patrick Gildea, Joey, Matthew, and Michael DaCosta, Declan, Connor and Emma Forde.
Her family would like to extend their thanks and gratitude for the wonderful care Peggy received from the many medical professionals.

Keep every memory of your mom as this will give you and your family great comfort during this difficult time. She will always be near as she is embedded in your hearts and minds. With love and sympathy. Ruthie.
