IN MEMORIAM Margaret “Peggy” Heron On October 9, we ended our long and beautiful goodbye to our best friend, our sunshine, and our family glue: Peggy Heron left this world as she has done everything: with intent, grace and class. Born on May 4, 1941 to Harry and Genevieve Grandt (nee Wolfe), Peggy graduated from Garden City HS in 1959 and went on to receive her Bachelor’s and Master’s in Education and later a second degree and very successful second career in Interior Design. Her teaching career brought her to Malverne JrHS where she met fellow teacher Jack Heron; they married in 1964 and would have celebrated 52 incredible years together this December. Together they forged a beautiful and loving family filled with laughter and smiles. Peg is survived by her husband: Jack, her children (& their spouses): Alison Hruby (George), Jennifer Brock (Jeff), Doug Heron (Nikki) and 8 grandchildren - The Hrubys: Katie and Evelyn; The Brocks: Owen, Cooper, Charlie and Nathan; The Herons: Jack and Alyssa. And her loving sisters: Marilyn VanTine and Susan

A special thanks to Jackie Rovelli, for all her hard work and to the Cathedral for allowing us to use the grounds!
