PEGGY HENNESSEY

Peggy Ann Hennessey, age 89, of Troy, OH passed away on Friday, April 29, 2016 at the Genesis Health Care in Troy.  She was born on March 25, 1927 in Troy, OH to the late Willard and Marjorie (Upp) Strome.  Peggy was married to John C. Hennessey and he preceded her in death on February 11, 1978.

Peggy is survived by her two daughters: Colleen Lutz of Troy and Joanne Hennessey (Ron) Vasquez of Santa Barbara, CA; brother: Bruce (Joyce) Strome of Hartsville, SC; three grandchildren: Sara (James) Poland of Troy; John (Angela) Lutz of Troy and Kevin Vasquez of Santa Barbara, CA; five great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.  In addition to her parents and her husband, she was preceded in death by sister: Charlene Hecker and son-in-law: Frederic Lutz.

Peggy was a graduate of Troy High School.  She was a member of the St. Patrick Catholic Church in Troy.  She was employed for 25 years with First National/Star Bank.

Peggy's love for family had no boundaries.  She especially loved having the entire family for the Christmas holidays to share with her.  She also enjoyed playing bridge with her many friends.  Her soft smile and kind heart will be missed by all who knew her.  Last but not least, she made the best fried chicken this side of the Mississippi!  She will be missed.

The family would like to thank Genesis Health Care for the loving care given to her.  Private family services will be held with interment in the Riverside Cemetery, Troy.  Memorial contributions may be made to the donor's favorite charity in Peggy's name.
