Obituary of Margaret E Pearce

Margaret Elizabeth (Meg) Pearce passed away on November 13, 2014 in Danbury, CT after a long fight with cancer. She was born in Darby, PA on October 31, 1957. Meg most recently lived in Sandy Hook, CT and is a member of Newtown United Methodist Church. She was a loving and supporting wife, world class mother, and friends to people throughout the globe. Meg graduated from Lansdowne Aldan High School, Lansdowne, PA and received advanced degrees in accounting and IT. Her most joyous occupation was mother to her children Amanda Edgett of San Antonio, TX and Brett Pearce of Auburn, AL. She was very active in youth organizations, through her children over the years, in particular in youth soccer where she focused on assuring every child who wanted to play soccer got to play. She was so proud to recently see her daughter marry Amos Edgett of San Antonio and to see her son receive the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout award. Although Meg made homes throughout the country and world over the years, she always maintained presence in the lives of her friends and family both near and far. Meg leaves this world to her husband of 32 years Bill Pearce, sister and brother-in-law Barbara and Paul English, brothers Robert Wells and twin Tommy Slaybaugh. She will always be beloved "Aunt Peg" to many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Meg was the "beloved" daughter-in-law of Mr. & Mrs. James Pearce of Morton PA.
