WILSON, MARGARET (PEGGY), 80, of Inverness, FL passed away peacefully and comfortable at her daughter’s home in Douglas, MA on July 14, 2022 after a battle with cancer. Her 80th birthday was celebrated in May.
Peggy graduated from Holliston High School in 1960. As a teen, she worked at Walter’s Dairy in Holliston. She took classes at Framingham State College and went to work at the Department of Children and Family in MA and later in FL, a job she absolutely loved. Children brought her such joy that she became a foster mom. Peggy was a long-standing member of the Moose Lodge and had been a star recorder. She attended First Church of God in Inverness.
She is survived by her four kids, Paula Morley and her husband Ted, David Swinimer and his wife Terri, Brenda Given and her husband Todd and Colin Swinimer and his wife Brenda. Dear sister of Joanne, Linda and Susan. Cherished grandmother of fourteen grandchildren, and sixteen great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband Earle Wilson, her parents Walton and Alda Fraser as well as sister Beverly and brother Walton.
In her past time, she enjoyed gardening, reading, going to bingo, playing cards, Scrabble, SkipBo, crocheting and spending time with her growing family. Her family fondly remembers her crocheted slippers every Christmas and her magical suitcase filled with little surprise gifts whenever she visited. Her sassy personality, sarcasm and her ability to make friends with anyone and everyone will be greatly missed by those that loved her.
A private gathering to spread her ashes will be done by her family in Holliston. Please join us for a celebration of life at 11AM on August 20, 2022 at First Church of God in Inverness, FL. There will be an opportunity for those to speak who wish to share memories. Reception immediately following.
