Peggy Anne Perry

Peggy Anne Perry of Easton passed away quietly on November 13th at Talbot Hospice, following a heroic month-long battle from a stroke; surrounded by her loving family. She was 87 years old. Peggy Anne Perry was born on September 10, 1938, in Easton, MD. She was the daughter of the late William Henry Cecil, Sr. and Loretta Constance Cecil. She graduated from Easton High School in 1957. After graduation she worked at Waverly Press/Cadmus Publishing for 44 years, where she was an account manager, until retiring in December 2000. Peggy married James Oliver Perry of Preston, MD on August 3, 1957. They welcomed a daughter, Karen Lee Perry, on December 28, 1962. The Perry’s enjoyed traveling and camping with the Choptank Tribe Camping Club for many years. Her many hobbies included, bowling, knitting, crafts of all kinds, cake decorating, home interior, and word find books. Her favorite was Longaberger Baskets and listening to the Jones’ Boys Band, but her greatest joy was her family. Peggy is survived by her daughter Karen Perry Callahan (Jim), a grandson Tim Callahan, granddaughter Candi Miller (Gavin), and soon to be great granddaughter that she was so looking forward to welcoming. Peggy is also survived by a brother-in-law Donald Perry (Linda), sister-in-law Joedy Cecil, nieces and nephews, Cory Cecil, Carol Ludwigsen (Art), Bobby Sharp (Vickie), Cathy Foreman. In addition, Peggy is also survived by Debbie Willey and Cindy Saulsbury that she thought of as daughters as well as Sonny, Terri, and Ryan Snow that she considered as extended family. Peggy was a lot tougher than she seemed. Throughout her life, she weathered numerous illnesses including a double cardiac arrest and end stage kidney disease. She always seemed to bounce back, no matter what happened. Unfortunately, a hemorrhagic stroke was the one thing she couldn’t overcome. Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, brother Billy Cecil, and her beloved husband of 56 years Jimmy Perry.
