MARGUERIETE M. D'AMORE "Peggy"

Peggy D'Amore died of natural causes on July 25, 2022, one day before her 93rd birthday at Country Meadows, Frederick. She was predeceased by her husband, Gerard (Jerry) D'Amore, Jr. and her granddaughter, Jessica Murphy. She is survived by her six children, Gerard (Jerry) D'Amore and Katharina, Donna Rimar and Joe, Kristin Lolmaugh and Bryan, Daniel D'Amore and Kirsten Stone, Susan Murphy and Don, and David D'Amore and Paula. Her legacy includes 13 grandchildren: Nina Akhaven, Dominic D'Amore, Gregory D'Amore, Michael DeWitt, Jeanette Bowman, David-Michael Marstiller, Michelle Borja, Chiara D'Amore, Chad D'Amore, Crystal Morgan, Bradley Murphy, Vincent D'Amore, and Adriana D'Amore. Her legacy also includes many great-grandchildren: Ayla Kirby, Lina Akhaven, Robert DeWitt, Sofia DeWitt, Diana DeWitt, Lily Bowman, Noah Bowman, Luke Bowman, Julius Marstiller, Rose Borja, Ella Borja, Tony Borja, Bryce Scharfenberg, Sasha D'Amore, Freya Murphy, and a new baby great-granddaughter due in December. Peggy was born in Franklin, New Hampshire, to Joseph and Susan Cleary. She had two siblings: Mildred Canney and Donald Cleary. She married Jerry D'Amore in 1948 and they spent much of their early marriage traveling, living in Germany for ten years. During that time, Peggy worked intermittently alongside of her husband for the Central Intelligence Agency. They settled in Rockville, Maryland, 54 years ago. Throughout her life, Peggy found joy in many interesting activities, including a business in astrology. She enjoyed gardening, traveling, dancing, the fine arts, and was an avid reader. She was a hospital volunteer, starting as a teen and continuing through her adult life. Peggy was the consummate hostess and gourmet cook for both the business world and for her family. Peggy had a longtime interest in genealogy. This hobby brought her much joy in her latter years when she discovered a close connection to the Dufault family in Rhode Island. One of the most memorable traits, recognized by all who knew her, was her ability to make and maintain friendships that lasted for a lifetime, reaching back as far as elementary school friends. Family and friends can gather at Keeney and Basford Funeral Homes, P.A., 106 E Church Street, Frederick, Maryland on Saturday July 30, 2022 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. A guest book and on-line condolences can be viewed at keeneybasford.com. Services will be held at a later date at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia.

So, sorry for your loss, your Mom was a bright light on this earth. I remember visiting "Uncle Jerry and Peggy" at their New Hampshire house and listening to the laughter inside. Both were very interesting to me because your Father painted and your Mom did Astrology. I enjoy both of those things and therefore admired their talents. I still have the Natal Chart your Mom prepared for me way back when and I still look at it from time to time. I'm sorry that I will not be able to make the service this Saturday. I will be thinking of Peggy and your family and wishing you peace as you celebrate her well lived life.

I am saddened to hear of your Mom's passing. The one sweet thought I have is now she will be able to see Mrs. Baker and my Mom. For so many hours the three of them would sit and drink coffee. Gabbing about their shared interests and families. I have many wonderful memories of her. One such memory is of her hosting my Bridal Shower. Other memories of our families going caroling at Christmas.

A really sincere lady. We enjoyed meeting Peggy and Gerry both here in her ancestral home (and ours) of Cork, and our subsequent return visit to a very warm welcome in Washington . We send out prayerful condolences to all the family. Eileen and Tom Ryan, Ballygarvan, Co Cork, Ireland.
