Foley, Margaret Ann “Peggy”

VOORHEESVILLE – Margaret Ann “Peggy” (Allen) Foley, passed away at home on the eve of her 77th birthday, February 11, 2020.

Born and educated in Albany, she was the daughter of the late William F. and Marge (Graziano) Allen. Peg was a graduate of Cardinal McCloskey High School in 1960. She retired as a teacher assistant for Colonie Community Daycare Center in 2008. “Miss Peggy” enjoyed creating the monthly bulletin boards and looked forward to seeing “her kids” each day. She previously was a food service worker for QFM at Bishop Maginn High School and was an operator with New York Telephone Company.

Peg was a communicant of St. Matthew’s Church in Voorheesville. She will be fondly remembered for her quick smile and friendly demeanor to all she met, also rooting for the underdog, her sincere compliments, an uncanny ability to accept whatever life brought, her unwavering faith, and her great love for her husband, children and grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband of 56 years, Edward J. Foley, Sr.; her children Lynn Foley (Leslie) of Selkirk, Ed Foley, Jr. (Colleen) of East Greenbush, Matt Foley (Carlie) of Voorheesville and Michael Foley (Britt) of Albany; her grandchildren, Liam, Hagen, Carson, Kennedy, Cassidy, and Jayden Foley; sister-in-law Carla Conklin (late Paul); her long-time friend, Philomena Godino; several nieces, nephews and cousins. She was predeceased by her brother-in-law, Commander Vincent D. Foley (late Ann).

A special thanks to Sue, Michelle, Wendy, Pam and Salan of Hospice and to Lyndsey.
