Margaret Mary Curtius, 94, passed away peacefully at her home on July 8, 2016.
Peggy, as she was known to her friends and family, was born in Chester, Pennsylvania on March 22, 1922. She married Thomas John Curtius on August 28, 1943. They had been married for 65 years. She was preceded in death by her husband Thomas and her daughter Margaret.

Nelson and I were very sad to hear of the death of your beloved Mother my Aunt Peggy. I remember your Mom, with her sunny happy disposition, your father, my Uncle Tom, quiet and steadfast and all of you when you were children. My Father (Uncle Mick) and Mother (Aunt Dottie), now deceased, loved Peggy and Tom very much. The whole family was saddened when you left for California. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
