Born Eyeries, Castletownbere, Co. Cork, Ireland Peggy arrived in Boston in 1957 and she lived on St. Gregory St., Dorchester with her aunt and uncle, Tim & Nora Driscoll, and her sister Maureen who led the way to the States from Ireland. She worked at Filene's in Boston and enjoyed Irish dances and the Gaelic games where she met Austin. Peggy was an integral part of helping Austin grow his business – The Briar Group and Kinvara Property Management. Peggy was a devout Catholic bringing those values to her family and friends. She was a devoted wife & mother. Her grandchildren were her passion, and she lovingly spoiled them all. Peggy enjoyed traveling with family and friends. She especially enjoyed Pompano Beach,FL and Newport, RI where she took up playing golf. We are grateful for the love and care she received by her caregivers which allowed her to remain at home.
