Margaret Pollard Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Circle of Life Funeral Home on Sep. 2, 2025.
Margaret Gale Pollard, affectionately known simply as "Peggy", entered this world on April 13, 1930, in Moorestown, NJ. The daughter of the late Lewis and Elizabeth Hall, her life was a beautiful testament to resilience, hard work, and the enduring power of love. Margaret's life was a luminous beacon, a testament to the spirit of human endurance, and a celebration of life's simple yet profound pleasures. As Albert Einstein once remarked, "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity." Margaret "Peggy" Pollard embodied this sentiment, turning every challenge into a stepping stone for growth and resilience.

Peggy spent her career in production as a devoted factory worker, a testament to her enduring work ethic and commitment to her community. She resided in Wenonah, New Jersey, where she was a beloved figure known for her tenacity, her vibrant spirit, and her unwavering kindness. Peggy was a woman of remarkable strength, finding beauty in the everyday and joy in the ordinary. She had a knack for making those around her feel seen and appreciated, leaving a lasting impact on all who were fortunate enough to have known her. As the renowned poet Maya Angelou noted, "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Margaret lived this philosophy, touching countless lives with her kindness and genuine warmth.

Peggy was widowed, yet her memory lives on through her son, Thomas Pollard, who cherished her greatly. Two Gran-Children, Two Great-Children, friends and adopted family.

She was preceded in death by her loving parents, Lewis and Elizabeth Hall. Peggy touched numerous lives during her time on Earth, and her memory will be upheld by all those who loved her.

In remembrance of Peggy, we invite you to share your memories, stories, and photographs on her memorial page. As we gather to celebrate her incredible life, let us remember her not with sadness, but with gratitude for the love and joy she brought into our lives. For as the beautiful saying goes, "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."
