Peggy graduated from St. Paul's High School in 1939, having formed many fulfilling and lifelong friendships from her schooldays. She was a loving and proud mother to her five boys, who provided Peggy with the daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren she both delighted and entertained with her charm, quick wit, and caring and nurturing manner. Once the boys were grown, Peggy and George loved traveling, especially appreciating their extended fall vacations in Cape Cod. Over the years, they also cherished spending time with their many east-side and west-side family members and friends. Peggy will be greatly missed for her flair for enlivening any gathering and bringing out and relishing everyone's unique qualities. The Haines family would like to extend a special thanks to Joan McGuigan for being a great cousin, friend, and late in life caregiver of mom.
