Her life

Peggy was born in Linden Falls, the fourth of six Doyle children, and married Tom O’Brien at St. Columba in June 1963.

She kept the books at Doyle’s Hardware for thirty years, ran the parish bake sale for longer, and never once let anyone leave her kitchen hungry. Tom went before her in 2015.

She leaves Kathleen, Michael and Anne Marie, seven grandchildren, and a garden that still comes up every spring.
