Uncasville – Marguerite (Peggy) Dunion Eyberse passed away on July 27, 2016, at Hartford Hospital surrounded by her family, listening to “Danny Boy.” She left behind a rich legacy of love which will always be remembered by all who knew her.
Peggy was born on September 6, 1927 in Norwich Connecticut, the fifth of eight children of William Dunion and Catherine Ryan Dunion. She was married to William Eyberse on September 3, 1949.
She was pre-deceased by her mother and father, brothers Billy, Jake, Tommy, Joe and Pat Dunion, and sister Ann Dunion Spillane. She is survived by her children; Bill Eyberse and his wife Kay, Jeff Eyberse and his wife Paula, Beth Rice and her husband Scott, grandchildren Damian and Kelly Rice, Stephanie and Wesley Ronczka and sister Catherine Dunion Morich.
She lost the love of her life, her husband Bill in 1975 and carried on without him for the rest of her life, raising her family, following her career and remaining fiercely independent until the end.
Peggy retired after a career at Southern New England Telephone and went to work at the State Capitol in Hartford, part of her love of the political process which included serving on the Montville Democratic Town Committee, being part of numerous campaigns and attending President Clintons Inaugural Ball.
Peggy loved to travel; she kissed the Blarney Stone, saw Paris, windmills in Holland, islands in Maine and loved to go to Disneyworld with her Grandchildren.
She loved Downton Abbey, The West Wing, Walter Matthau movies, The Irish Tenors and James Taylor.
