Margaret “Peggy” DeVries (Qucsai), age 85, died peacefully at her home in Oak Ridge on Saturday, May 10, 2014. She was receiving the loving care of her family at the time of her passing.
Born in Paterson in 1929, she lived in Lincoln Park until moving to Oak Ridge in 2000.
Surviving to mourn her loss but celebrate her life are her three dear daughters: Shirley Block of Oak Ridge, Linda Lima-DeVries of Totowa, and Joyce and husband Salvatore Lima of Wayne; Her two dear sons: Hendrick DeVries of Lincoln Park and Phillip DeVries of Oak Ridge; Sixteen adored grandchildren: Mitzi Cox, Jeff Uphold, Tammy and husband Dave Panzino, Jackie Lima, Krystal Lima and fiancé Nick Whitmore, Charles and wife Jennifer Lima, Salvatore, Jr. and wife Raquel Lima, Richard, Anthony and Joseph Lima, Hendrick and wife Nicole DeVries, Mariah DeVries, Heather DeVries and her fiancé Bryan, PJ DeVries, Kate DeVries, and Teddy DeVries; thirteen cherished great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Peggy lived her life for her family. She loved her children and grandchildren. Even in her final days she would use her strength to express her adoration for each and every one of them. She enjoyed life to the fullest, especially celebrating family birthdays, graduations, and weddings. She loved vacations and was always ready to take that trip to Florida, Vermont or Pennsylvania, and cruises to wherever that ship was going!
Peggy owned Flowers by Henri in Lincoln Park, and then worked as a floral designer with Carlock's Florist in Little Falls, prior to retirement.
Peggy leaves all those who knew her with many happy memories, but takes with her a piece of all their hearts. She will always be loved and missed.
In lieu of flowers, those planning an expression of sympathy in Margaret’s name are asked to consider the Muscular Dystrophy Association – WEB, P.O. Box 78960, Phoenix, AZ 85062-8960 (www.mda.org)
