Born on December 8, 1935 in Newark, NJ of Peter and Margaret (Gillick) Cogan. A graduate of St. Bernard High School in West Newton, Peggy lived most of her life in Waltham, MA.

Peggy worked as a purchasing agent for Jarrell-Ash and Hologic and was active in the Waltham Business and Professional Women’s Club and Zonta International. Peggy loved to travel and her beautiful blue eyes sparkled when she shared stories of her trips to Ireland, her parents’ native home.
Peggy attended St. Charles Borromeo church where she sang in the choir, and later attended St. Mary’s Catholic Church and resided in St. Mary’s Apartments.
