Margaret (Peggy) Vivian Posey, 93, of Indian Head, Maryland, passed away on Tuesday, December 23, 2024 at her home surrounded by her loving family.
Born on September 22, 1931 in Washington, DC, she was the daughter of the late Herbert S. Dern and Margaret G. Dern. Peggy worked for the family bus company as the bookkeeper then later for Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Her sons were in a band and she would chaperone the teen dances when they played. She was very active with the teens in their community. She loved watching the Baltimore Orioles, going to her children and grandchildren's sporting and other events. Peggy enjoyed spending time with family and friends. She loved the holidays, especially Christmas. Always preparing delicious meals and going overboard with presents! After her husband Charlie died one of her wishes was to be able to stay in her home. Her son Billy took care of her for years making sure she was able to do so. The last year she had 24 hour care given by her wonderful caregiver Charmaine.
