Obituary for Margaret M. "Peggy" Maillet
Margaret “Peggy” M. Maillet, 80 years of age, of Alfred, ME, passed away on February 13, 2023, surrounded by her loved ones.
Peggy was born in Cambridge, MA on March 26, 1942, to William and Elizabeth (MacDonald) Donovan. She graduated from Watertown High School in Watertown, MA, class of 1960, and later in life went on to receive her associate degree in business administration from Fisher College in Boston, MA.
Peggy embarked on a career in the financial sector which prompted her to get her degree. She started out as a bank teller at Belmont Savings Bank in Belmont, MA. Peggy spent many years serving her clients and worked her way up the corporate ladder, where she ended her career as the Senior Security Officer for the bank overseeing several departments.
During her time in Massachusetts, Peggy was an active member of Rotary International and served as president of the Belmont Rotary Club in the 1990’s. She was active in the community working to help with food insecurity and other charitable events. Peggy began her retirement in 2004 and moved to Maine two years later to be close to her family. Peggy quickly became involved with the Wells & Ogunquit Senior Center, eventually serving on the board of directors.
For those that got to know Peggy, she could be found at local Bingo games and cribbage tournaments. Throughout her life she enjoyed close relationships with many friends, vacationing from Cape Cod to Maine. Peggy was known for her generous giving and would often spend the year accumulating gifts to give away for Christmas. She especially loved the tradition of Christmas morning and seeing the holiday through the eyes of the youngest members of the family. You could count on her infectious laugh to light up the room. Over her entire life, what she viewed as most important were the priceless moments she spent in the company of her family and friends. She will be dearly missed.
Peggy is predeceased by her parents, William and Elizabeth Donovan; and her brothers, William (Billy), Robert (Bobby), and John Donovan.
She is survived by her daughter, Theresa Giordano and her husband, Philip, of Alfred, ME; her two grandchildren, Christopher and Michelle Giordano; her great-grandson, Peter Giordano; and many nieces, nephews and extended family.
Visiting hours will be held on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, from 9 AM to 11 AM at Bibber Memorial Chapel, 67 Summer Street, Kennebunk, ME. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday, February 21, 2023, at 11:30 AM at St. Martha’s Catholic Church, 30 Portland Road, Kennebunk, ME.
Peggy’s final wish for her friends and family is that she have one single white rose on her casket, and that instead of sending flowers please direct memorial donations to Hospice of Southern Maine, 390 US Route 1, Scarborough, ME 04074, or to your local food pantry and help continue her legacy of giving to others.
