Margaret “Peggy” Shay

WESTFIELD – Margaret “Peggy” Shay, 66, left this world suddenly on Saturday, October 28th, 2023.

Peggy was born August 27th, 1957 to Doris (Iserman) Shay and the late George “Moe” Shay and was a graduate of Westfield High School in 1975. Peggy enjoyed spending time with her children, reading, crafting, going on whale watches; traveling adventures with her sister Lisa. Her greatest joy in life were her grandchildren, all of whom she was extremely proud of. Peggy was always willing to lend a helping hand, provide a place to lay your head, a warm meal, a listening ear or simply a big hug.

Also included is a close family friend Sandra Durett who was like a daughter to her.
