Margaret "Peggy" Roe, a longtime resident of Wappingers Falls, passed away peacefully on Monday, September 29, 2025, at the age of 82.

Born on April 5, 1943, in Sharon, Connecticut, Peggy was the daughter of the late Hasner and Gertrude Benson. She was a proud graduate of Webutuck High School, Class of 1960, and went on to earn her Associate’s degree from Dutchess Community College in 1962. On September 18, 1965, Peggy married the love of her life, Bernie Roe.

Peggy started her career at Marine Midland Bank and then dedicated 24 years of service to the Town of Wappinger before retiring in 2005. Her commitment to her community extended far beyond her professional life. She was a devoted member of the New Hackensack Fire Company’s Ladies’ Auxiliary, serving as President from 1976 to 1979, and played an active role in the New Hackensack Reformed Church, where she served as secretary of the Consistory for several years.

Peggy’s greatest joy was found in loving and supporting her family. She is survived by her loving husband of 60 years, Bernie; her sons Doug (Nancy) and Michael (Sharon); grandchildren Jessica Rupolo (Anthony), Christopher, and David; and her beloved great-granddaughter, Margaret “Maggie.”  Along with her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Eleanor Magnussen, and great-granddaughter, Elizabeth.

A time of visitation will be held on Sunday, October 5, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at New Hackensack Reformed Church, located at 1580 Route 376 in Wappingers Falls. A funeral service celebrating Peggy’s life will begin at 4:00 p.m., immediately following the visitation.
