Lee, Margaret "Peggy"
Margaret “Peggy” (Heffernan) Lee, 76, a longtime resident of Ocean Park, ME and formerly of Conn., passed away peacefully on July 23, 2022, surrounded by her loving family at Summerhill Assisted Living in Peterborough, NH, following a period of declining health.
Her parents, Cornelius and Irene (Brouillard) Heffernan of Unionville, Conn., welcomed their daughter into the world on Aug. 31, 1945 in Hartford, Conn. Peggy was a 1963 graduate of Farmington High School. Soon after, she married the love of her life, David Lee, on Oct. 9, 1965.
Peggy previously lived in Unionville, Winchester,
and Colebrook, Conn., where she lovingly raised her children and began her career as an assessor. Once her children were off to college, she made one of her dreams come true by purchasing a home at the beach in her beloved Ocean Park, ME where she lived happily for nearly 30 years.
Peggy made a lasting impression on everyone she met. She was full of life, love, and laughter and cherished her relationships with family and friends. She enjoyed motorcycle rides with David, spending time with her grandchildren, happy hours on the beach, and hosting family gatherings. Peggy was a talented seamstress and quilter, making personal quilts for all of her children and grandchildren. Her generosity, thoughtfulness, and
contagious laugh will be missed.
Peggy is survived by her two daughters: Kristine (Lee) Dow and her husband William of Spofford, NH, Sukhpran Kaur Khalsa (previously known as Karen E. Lee) of Essex, VT; her two siblings, Eugene Heffernan and his wife, Angela of Burlington, Conn., Irene (Heffernan) Bonini and her husband, Henry of Unionville, Conn.; five grandchildren, Liam, Noah, Will, Elizabeth, and
Jasmine; many nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
Peggy is now reunited with her parents, two siblings, daughter Suzanne, and her lifelong companion, David. Friends and family are welcome to call at The Ahern Funeral Home, 111 Main St., Rt. 4, Unionville, CT on Monday, Aug. 8 from 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM with a graveside service to follow in St. Mary's Cemetery, Huckleberry Hill Rd., Avon.
