Margaret Peters

Margaret (Margie) Peters was born on July 23, 1940 in Brooklyn, New York and passed away peacefully surrounded by loved ones on November 22, 2024. Margie was 84 at the time of her death. Margie was the youngest of six siblings whom she loved and remained close with throughout her life. Margie is survived by her son Tommy (Jessica) and daughter Patty (Mike). Margie is also blessed to be the grandma to her eight beautiful grandchildren: Jessica, Stefanie (Lurto), Valerie, Bret, Brittany, Marc, James (Olivia), and Chloe, and four wonderful great-grandchildren: Angelina, Mason, Reese, and Jack. Margie's love of family was one that showed in how much she cared for everyone. Her bond with her sisters was something she cherished dearly, loving their time together, especially their trip to Newfoundland to see firsthand the land from where their ancestors came. One of Margie's all time favorite things was an impromptu call from her sister Catherine for a quick trip to Mohegan Sun in Connecticut for a 12-14 hour bingo marathon with sandwiches in their pockets. Upon returning from one of these many trips, you could see the exhaustion as well as the smiles. Margie met her husband of 50 years- Phil in Brooklyn, where they lived and raised their family. Brooklyn was very good to Margie, giving her a circle of friends and community that she dearly loved. Margie always had a soft spot for the many stray animals her kids would find on the street and bring home with pleading eyes and promises of, ''I'll walk him every day!'' Family vacations did not come easy, but one in particular in Seaside Heights, New Jersey remained a main topic of conversation for many years as the Peters and best friends, the Wards, arrived to be evacuated not even 24 hours later due to a hurricane, which landed both families in a hotel that experienced a blackout, arriving back to the beach days later to shark sightings and beach closures. Margie was one of the first and only moms on her beloved 59th St to get a job working outside the home. She took great pride in this accomplishment working near Wall St for J.P. Morgan for over 15 years, only once in that time did she misplace $15 million for a few hours. Margie loved listening to country music, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks among her favorites. You could also find her deep in the latest Danielle Steel or Mary Higgins Clark books, but her favorite thing to do was watching her Hallmark Christmas movies, often turning down invitations to dinner (never bingo) if a new movie was debuting that night. Margie had a gentle soul and an easygoing spirit and was a quick friend to everyone she met. She will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know her. Her spirit will live on in her family, especially any time one of them yells, ''Bingo!''
