Margaret B. Eddy of Dunedin, Fla., died on March 8 after a sudden illness.

She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Howard H. Eddy. Peg spent many years volunteering her services with the Junior League, rising to the position of director of the New England Region. Her other volunteer activities included the City of Dunedin Library and St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church. In her later years, Peg’s greatest enjoyment came as a result of her involvement as a leader in the Stephen Ministry.

Peg was introduced to the Vineyard as a child, attending summer camp in Oak Bluffs. As a teenager, she visited several friends who summered in Harthaven. Once she started dating Howard, her visits to the Vineyard were more frequent. Peg and Howard spent more than 50 summers on Abel’s Hill enjoying a multitude of family and friends. Peg’s days were spent at the beach side by side with the Abel’s Hill mothers watching over all the children. She sailed with Howard from the Vineyard to Block Island, Nantucket and the many coves in between. Her vacations included reading, walking and preparing beach plum jelly and huckleberry jam. Peg loved birds and enjoyed walks on South Beach and at the Felix Neck Wildlife Sanctuary. From Vineyard Dry Goods to Alley’s General Store to Aquinnah, there wasn’t a place on the Island Peg didn’t love.

She is survived by her four children, Marion Eddy of Burlington, Me., Abigail Sabol of Palm Harbor, Fla, Stanley Eddy of Tarpon Springs, Fla., and David Eddy of Amherst. She is also survived by her brother, Harrison C. Bristoll Jr.; as well as 10 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

A memorial service will be held at the Abel’s Hill Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 2, at 11 a.m.
