Margaret Ann Vincent

Greenfield, MA - Margaret Ann Vincent "Peggy" "Gram" (Scryba) passed away peacefully Monday at home surrounded by her family on February 26, 2024.

Margaret was born in Greenfield, MA on January 23, 1937, she is the daughter of Minnie and Peter Scryba. On January 29,1955 she married Richard J Vincent at Holy Trinity Church Main St. in Greenfield, MA where together they planted family roots on Leyden Rd and raised their family for the next 58 years, recently celebrating their 69th Wedding Anniversary.

Peggy, as she was known in the early years at Snow's Dairy worked as their short order cook for 20 years before she decided to leave to open "Peggy's Daycare" so she could help raise her grandchildren, this is where she became "Gram" to all. Many local children attended her daycare where she always had a fun new project planned and holidays were always a big event including apple bobbing on Halloween, the Easter Bunny visiting with egg hunts & homemade Valentines' cards.

Mom loved creating crafts and painting, many family members were gifted with these over the years as well as quilts she made that would emphasize each person's personality, her talents did not end there she had made all of her children's wedding cakes, a few that tiered to the sky with waterfalls. Mom was never without a camera in her hands to capture every memory possible, even while being the proudest & loudest cheerleader on the sidelines at all the kids' sports games she still managed to capture the special moments. Best cook and baker in our family by far, fondly remembering her passion for spending time in the kitchen, this is where she would teach all the family children growing up how to roll out a pie crust and make any Christmas cookie they chose out of her Betty Crocker Cookbooks. She also made sure everyone was skilled at making golumpkis and pierogies, not sure if she ever did let the secret out to the famous "Gram's Cream Puffs"… ssshhh "It's a splash of LOVE."

She was our family matriarch, this was resonated by her kindness, making sure everyone knew how proud she was of them, the amount of time she spent with all her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren and most recently the visits from her great great granddaughters. Her day was not complete until she viewed all the videos she would receive of her youngest great grandsons and watching her great granddaughters grow into beautiful young ladies, she found so much joy in watching her family thrive, making sure everyone knew how loved and supported they were. With every beat of our hearts, we will forever remember and you will never be forgotten for the life lessons of independence, promise. She touched many lives and was an amazing Wife, Mother, Gram, and Friend. She had special lifelong friends that were considered "family" Millie, Rosie, and Tootsie (all predeceased) and Margaret.

her eight grandchildren, Margaret Corey (Casey), Eve Mills, Ryan Vigneault (Stephanie), Richard Vincent (Cortney), Chasy Vincent, Jeffrey Vigneault (Emily), Amanda Vincent and Nicholas Vincent, her seven great grandchildren Alexis Lambert (Ryan), Abby and Sadie Corey, Lianna Bolanos, Colson Vincent, Griffin Vigneault, Henry Vigneault, and her great grand pup Rosie Louis, who brought her a morning smile and laughter as she watched Rosie play from the kitchen window.
