Margaret “Peggy” A. Simpson, 74, Montville CT, unexpectedly passed away on March 15, 2021 at Lawrence and Memorial Hospital in New London Connecticut. Margaret was born on December 20, 1946 in Brooklyn New York to Floyd and Bertha Simmons and was the oldest of two children. Peggy met Vanish Lee Simpson in Roper North Carolina and stopped Lee in his tracks with one simple word. “Hello”. They married on June 28, 1969 and remained married for 51 years with three children. Peggy loved all things craft. From knitting to crocheting, to sewing and picking out plants for the rest of the family to pot (She didn’t like worms). Her warm smile and laugh lit up the room and made everyone around her feel what was always in her heart. Tough when she needed to be but always fun to be around, loving, giving and caring. She lived her life with grace and elegance and one of the sweetest people you’d ever meet. Peggy loved and cherished her family. She was a Woman of God and her life was a reflection of her walk with Christ. A constant student of the Word, she truly exemplified the meaning of being a Child of the King. With a song in her heart, she loved to hear kids sing so much that she became the children’s choir director with wall to wall kids at Shiloh Baptist Church. She loved eating popcorn and watching old movies (Columbo and Agatha Christie were just a couple of her favorites), sunflowers and butterflies. Lots and lots of butterflies. Everywhere.
She will forever be missed. Peggy … Wife … Mom … Ma … Mommy … Grandma … Mimi’s spirit will live on in the hearts of those who love and met her. Peggy is survived by her family that respects and loves her deeply, Vanish Lee Simpson (Husband), Bertha Simmons (Mother), Charmaine K. Fenty (Daughter), Marc T Simpson (Son), Cherise L Simpson (Daughter), grandchildren, great granddaughter, nieces and cousins.
