Margaret Jenkins Obituary
MOUNTAIN TOP — Margaret Emily "Peggy" Jenkins peacefully passed away to the other side, surrounded by family, listening to classical music.
Peggy was born Nov. 6, 1944. She grew up in Laurel Run, Pa., and graduated Susquehanna University with a BA in German and archaeology.
Peggy took great pride in her Welsh heritage. Her passions included traveling, gardening, singing in choirs, and loving her family and animals very deeply. Her sweet and funny personality remained with her until she joined the heavenly choir, just like she wanted.
Peggy is survived by granddaughter, Jane Jenkins; daughter, Priscilla Smith; son-in-law, Michael Smith; sister-in- law, Norma Gregory; as well as multiple beloved cousins.
There will be no service held. McCune Funeral Service, Mountain Top, assisted the family with the arrangements.

My condolences to Prescilla and Jane. I was a friend of Peg and Stu's from the 1970's when they lived in Virginia. I always enjoyed Peg and her sense of humor. I was poking around trying to find old friends. Very sorry to hear of Peg's passing.
Best, Jay Duvon

Peggy,cousin Libby and I grew up together,Peggy at the top of S.Dickerson St. Aunt Jane Pickett down thehill,with me on the weekends,and Libby over on North Dickerson.
Peggy and Mom,my Aunt Margaret,were very active in Girl Scouts and it is in their memory that I became the Chaplain for BSA#452 IN Mays Landing,NJ. Females are now joining the boy scouts, earning the same merit badges,and earning the rank of Eagle Scout. Aunt Margaret and Peggy would have fit right in❤❤❤

A friend since first grade when we were skipped to third in the Laurel Run school. Spent many interesting days exploring the woods and mountains surrounding the borough. I will truly miss her humor and friendship. Jane and Priscilla I know you will miss her tremendously. I am so sorry you didn´t have her longer.

Priscilla,
I remember when your mom drove us to chorus practice in Wilkes Barre...we could not convince her to take us to Ozzfest but she still got on a bus and saw us off to Wales from Port Authority, NY. Your mama was a saint, and I'm sorry for your loss. I just lost my dad as well (June 23, 2023). Wish there was more I could do for you! You are in my prayers.

I worked with Peggy when she was secretary at Mountaintop UMC. We've kept in touch all these years via Facebook. She made us laugh daily and made a difficult year much better. She had a habit of playing with Scotch tape while she talked, so I'm sure the office went through a lot of Scotch tape. Since my name is Peggy we decided that we would call her "Princess Peggy" so people wouldn't get confused. She liked that! :) I'll always remember her with a smile.
