Margaret (Peggy) Murphy – Malone

June 7, 1940 – May 16, 2024

On Thursday, May 16, 2024, Peggy Murphy-Malone, of Lake Placid, NY passed away

serenely at home surrounded by the warmth and love of her family.

Peggy was the beloved daughter of the late Francis and Margaret Meredith (nee

McCluskey). Born on June 7, 1940, in New York City, it is only fitting that we celebrate her life

on her birthday, June 7, 2024.

Always ready for an adventure, Peggy met the love of her life, Timothy J Murphy, Jr. on

a blind date at a jazz club in Manhattan. They danced the night away and into a happy future

together. Peg and Tim were married on September 8, 1962, at Our Lady of Mercy Roman

Catholic Church in Park Ridge, NJ. Peggy and Tim were the proud and loving parents to

Timothy, Mary, Kathleen and Kevin. After a long illness, Tim died on May 3, 1986.

On May 26, 1990, in Lake Placid, Peggy married Donald Malone. Tim and Don were

work buddies. As widowers a surprising love story emerged between Peg and Don. Peggy loved

life from her home overlooking Lake Placid. Her family visited frequently with everyone

enjoying time with Nana & Pop Pop and many Adirondack adventures.

The best years of Peggy's life were spent as Nana to her grandchildren Keira, Benjamin

(Abigail), Taylor (Evan), Stephanie (Guido), Timothy, Eric, Margaret, Madailein, Abigail,

Patrick, Caroline and Aileen and great-grandchildren Eloise, Sloane and Lucy. Nana loved every

moment with her "grands" and especially enjoyed one on one time with them - without their

parents. Nana was famous for her pancakes and her "grands" all learned to flip pancakes,

standing on the stool next to her at her kitchen counter.

Peggy lived life to the fullest and her home was full of love. We snuggled up for bedtime

stories, swam for hours in the pool, and had the merriest of Christmas mornings. Peggy had long

lasting friendships with the Flatbush Friends and the Monday Lunch Club, fondly called the

Golden Girls at the local diner. Her life was enriched by the Gourmet Club, the Irish Mafia

Trivia Team and the extraordinary bridge players.

For a woman that traveled the world, Peggy thought there was no more beautiful place to

be then in the Adirondacks. Peg and Don loved floating around Lower Saranac Lake on their

pontoon boat and shared the experience whenever they could.

Peggy was predeceased by her parents Frank and Marge Meredith, her husbands,

Timothy Murphy and Donald Malone, cherished aunts and uncles, and her best friend and sister

Kathleen Meredith Rattazzi.

Peggy is survived by her children Timothy J. Murphy, III and his wife Corinne

(Smithtown, NY), Mary Murphy Alex and her husband Steve (Paul Smiths, NY), Kathleen

Murphy and her partner Frank (Lake Placid, NY) and Kevin Murphy and his wife Erin (Troy,

NY), her 12 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren, sister Mary Birkmeyer and husband

Arthur (Longview, WA), brother Francis Meredith and his wife Linda (Woodcliff Lake, NJ), aunt
