Margaret was born in County Clare, Ireland on September 23, 1933, daughter of the late Daniel and Catherine (Roche) Cahill and lived in London before immigrating to the United States in 1956. Peggy worked as a nurse at Worcester State Hospital, Lincoln Nursing Home and Westboro State Hospital before retiring in 1995.

When her children were young, Peggy enjoyed family vacations with her brother Mike and his family at Hampton Beach. She loved going for walks – whether it be the beach, the Rail Trail or the QCC track. She loved to shop – any store, any time, and enjoyed a good conversation over a cup of tea. Most of all, Peggy loved spending time with her family and grandchildren.
