We have known Peggy for years, her infectious smile and craftiness was always a joy to be around! Such talent!
I always enjoyed seeing Peggy in the Canandaigua Schools– she had a great smile and wonderful laugh that reflected her kind and caring ways. I’m sorry for your loss.
Ed, Matt Jessie and family
So sorry to hear of you loss! Remember the good times and may your memories and love get you through this hard time! Lots of love and hugs to all!
Peggy brought love and laughter every place she went.
I’m grateful for our friendship and times spent working together at the Valley Inn,or talking and laughing (instead of working out) at the HCS fitness room.
She was always excited to tell news about her family or show me her latest creation. Love you and miss you Peggy
Dear Family of Peggy,
Heartfelt sympathy for you at this painfull time of losing such a precious part of your lives.
Peggy radiated joy no matter what was happening in her life.
She loved and valued her husband,children,large family and many friends.
The world revolved around her grandbabies. She was at CVS making photo prints of the 1st one and joyously showed me the baby along with baby’s mittens she had made.
She bloomed where ever her work career took her.
We spent time together at Naples Grape Festivals where she displayed her creative,artistic talents with
beautiful,perfect,quality items from a tiny bracelet to a huge quilt.. I never saw so many different items made by one person.
Fly freely Aunt Peggy!!! You were an inspiration to me growing up, thank you for all the love and memories!!! Say hi to Timmy for me!!! Xoxo
Ed, Jessica, and Family
So sorry for your loss. We enjoy waving as you all drive by. If anything we can do let us know.

Peggy and Eddie were the beautiful couple in the trailer park! And probably the nicest also! I have very fun memories of those days. So sorry Peggy could not win her battle…..I understand how much she wanted to be there for her grandchildren….they are everything!!!! God speed your family’s recovery. Rest in peace, Peggy and know that your grandchildren will never forget you.
Peggy always had a smile on her face. Enjoyed going to CNB when Peggy worked there she always had a story to tell!! Family memories are the most important things to keep alive never stop talking about her. People think that will make you feel bad but you want their memory to stay alive. I never had the pleasure to meet Jess but she has her mother’s smile and big heart. Ed remain strong as that is what Peggy would want thinking of your family.
I am saddened to learn of Peggy’s passing.I worked with her at the Canandaigua Middle School. She always had a kind word for everyone, and a smile to go along with her generous spirit. Each Christmas as I decorate my tree, I am reminded of her wonderful personality as I hang the handmade ornament she gave me.
May you take comfort in knowing how loved she was by anyone who met her.
In sympathy,Nancy Yacci
