Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
We spent many happy summer evenings at the beach house on Surfside.
Every day since 1st grade I would ride my bicycle into the Hurley family driveway to get Peggy’s brother Danny to go to school at St. Francis Xavier in South Weymouth. Every day Mrs Hurley would say, “Eddy keep Danny on the sidewalk on his bike” as we went off to school, Peggy would laugh and wave and say “have a good day”…..Peggy asked to invite her to go to Mass with my 97 yr old mother next month who she knew growing up in Weymouth. What a surprise to see her passing after just messaging her last week. God Bless the Hurley family from Park Avenue So. Weymouth…all joined together now in the Heavens!
Oh Peggy, I loved your wicked sense of humor and willingness to go outside your comfort level and try new things. I admired your dedication to service to others.
Sending prayers of comfort for your loved ones and extra bright steps on the bridge to the beautiful light that IS All-knowing, All-healing and All-loving.
Love and Respect,
Grew up with Danny, Peggy and her mom, sadly to young to remember mr Hurley on Park Ave West , south Weymouth So sorry for cousins she and Danny connected with. God let them all be at rest in Heaven. 💔🙏
Peg played my mom in a Footlight Club theatre production in the mid -80s, and I became a huge fan of this funny, compassionate, sassy, smart and capable woman. We reconnected on Facebook several years ago, and I was so happy to “talk” to her regularly in that way. I will miss her! My condolences and prayers are with her family and friends — she was a beautiful spirit. ❤️
So sorry to hear about Peggy Peg always spoke about her Mum, Dad and Danny when he passed. Peggy was always a family person. She is now at rest with her family.God bless you Peg a cousin from the other side.

Just too bad. Peg & I always kept in touch from Kindergarten, double dating in college and always a Christmas Card. I will miss her. Let me know of a get together
I knew peg through her brother Danny. I still kept in touch with her and we worked from time to time in advertising together. She was a great woman and always had something positive to say. Sorry to hear this news
Peggy was the big sister who kept us in line and always had good advice. Loved her family and is with them now. God bless
I am so sad to hear the news of Peggy’s passing. I was a classmate of Peggy’s at SFX and remember that beautiful smile of hers and her kindness to everyone. I remember her brother Danny and her wonderful Mom. Peggy you will be missed but never forgotten. RIP my friend.
I met Peg through her brother Dan as well. Her great sense of humor and intelligent wit is a thing too rarely found in this world. I always enjoyed seeing her when she visited New Hampshire. Both Peg and Dan were a hoot to hang out with by a fire pit.
Dear Peg friends since the 90’s it all stated at the Footlight Club in JP she has been a friend and client ( her hairdresser)
For over 30 years you will be missed
💗🙏🏻💗
I worked with Peg at the Mattahunt Elementary School. We taught first grade together. Peg was a caring teacher and great colleague. Heaven gained an angel.
Peg
You left your mark on this earth…now it is time for you to watch over us from heaven.
You touched the hearts of many.
You will be dearly missed.
I was also a classmate of Peggy at SFX. I remember talking with her at the last reunion. She was still so funny. She will be missed. My condolences to the cousins.
So sad. I worked with Peggy in the Boston Public Schools. I remember our drives in my car and our conversations when I dropped her off at her home in Jamaica Plain. Rest In Peace 💕🙏
Oh, gone too soon, dear fun and funny, Peg. Rest in Eternal Peace
So very sorry to hear this news. Peggy was a classmate of mine at NDA. We sat and chatted for a long time at our 50th re-union. Great time with her remembering our days at NDA.
Blessing to Peggy and her family.
A “smart cookie” as we would say in the old ‘hood. Met her at The Footlight Club (where she had been secretary) in the 80’s. A stellar rendition of “Ladies Who Lunch” in Sondheim’s ‘Company’ and other wonderful performances. Miss her, them and then…..
Helen /Peggy was a classmate at NDA and a smart, thoughtful, calm person, who added insightful thoughts to our class discussions.
She was also active in theatre there, as was I. Peggy was a talenred, kind, person with a dry sense of humor. May God give her soul rest and peace. Trish LePrie.
