Margaret "Peggy" Grivner

Margaret "Peggy" Grivner, 80, of Exeter, passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 20, 2025, at her home.

Born in Exeter in 1945, Peggy was the daughter of the late Louis and Ann Cerza Gadello.

A lifelong resident of Exeter, she was proud of her roots and the community she called home.

She graduated from Exeter High School and later attended Wilkes-Barre Business College.

In 1966, Peggy married the love of her life, Edward Grivner. Together, they shared many wonderful years raising their family. Peggy worked as a bank teller before dedicating herself to raising her children. Later, she returned to the workforce, where she was a familiar and friendly face to many as a waitress at the Nook and, most recently, Tony's Pizza.
