Margaret Lawson

MARGARET LAWSON "Peg"

Of Ponte Vedra, FL and Potomac, MD, joined the party on May 5, 1931 in Asheville, NC and passed away on August 19, 2013. Peg's best love was her darling husband, Harry with whom she produced two nearly perfect daughters, Sharon and Ginger. Luckily, they married well and brought home her perfect sons, Kevin and Larry. Her yellow labs were her favorite children and she always thought they were well behaved, no matter how bad they were. Heidi was the last of her labs and the best.

Peg loved to laugh and hated rules - regularly flaunting them to the annoyance of many people. She was a conservationist and spent the best days of her life outdoors: hiking, paddling, skiing, golfing and riding horses. She took up marathons at age 65 and completed several, including the "Peggy Lawson Marathon" on her first day of training when she ran 29 miles. She had a great time - the dog did not. Her many friends brought joy to her life, especially her lifelong friend Grace. We'll miss her.

At her command, there will not be a funeral service. Memorial contributions may be made to: Lab Rescue of Florida c/o Horowitz & Knoch, 481 E. Hillsboro Blvd, Suite 100A, Deerfield Beach, FL 33441 or Friends of Acadia, P.O. Box 45, Bar Harbor, Maine 04609.
