Peggy was born in Worcester, daughter of the late Thomas F. and Anna M. (McCarthy) O’Brien, both of whom emigrated from Ireland. She graduated from the former Sacred Heart Academy in Worcester, and, in her career, worked as a Secretary at Assumption College for 10 years before retiring.
Peg enjoyed reading, cooking, and walking in her free time; she was known for being a social butterfly who had many close friends, and would go out of her way to make new ones.

Her family would like to thank the wonderful staff of the Christopher House of Worcester for their loving care for Peggy throughout this time.
