Margaret E. “Peggy” Shupe, of Catawissa

Margaret E. “Peggy” Shupe, 95 of Catawissa, passed away October 2, 2019 at Emmanuel Center for Nursing in Danville.

She was born January 16, 1924, in Maddensville, PA a daughter of the late William and Jessie (Fraker) Linn.

She relocated to Catawissa from Norristown, PA thirty years ago with her husband Philip after he retired from the car sales business there. She worked along side her husband in the office of his business. They traveled extensively together and were active in many civic and business related organizations.

Always known for her hospitality Peggy loved being grandmom to her grandchildren and their friends as they grew. There was always something to eat at “Grandmom’s House.” She could frequently be found baking pies or other goodies and a four course meal could appear out of thin air before everyone had their coats removed.

Peggy’s life was a living testament to the gospel of putting others before yourself. She gave selflessly to any who had need and often overlooked other’s shortcomings.

In addition to her parents and her husband Philip Shupe Sr. who passed in 1995, she was preceded in death by a daughter Janet Cox in 2014, a granddaughter Lori Duttera and a sister Eleanor Wilson.

She is survived by a son Philip Shupe Jr. (Carol Hill) of Calabash, NC; two daughters Miriam Hengen of Wyomissing, Pa and Lisa Shupe Myhre of Mifflinville, Pa and seven grandchildren John Shupe, Susan Dietz, Emily Mutterperl, Krista Massey, Kurt Myhre, Kyle Myhre and Karl Myhre and six great grandchildren.
