SOUTHPORT — Marie “Peggy” Leeming, 96, formerly of Manchester Township, New Jersey, passed away Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020.
Mrs. Leeming was born April 12, 1923, in Montclair, New Jersey, to the late Thomas and Winifred Connolly. She was a loving mother, daughter, sister, grandmother and great-grandmother. She enjoyed spending time with her family, but when distance became an issue, she was happy just to hear their voices over the phone.
Peggy enjoyed the Jersey Shore and spent many happy times there in the company of her sisters. One of her favorite pastimes was playing bingo and taking trips to Atlantic City with her sister Kate.
She is survived by her son, Bruce Leeming, and his wife, Adele; three grandchildren, Meghan Nenninger, and her husband, Scott, Matthew B. Leeming, and his wife, Erin, and Thomas Leeming; three great-grandchildren, Jordan Nenninger, Jacob Nenninger and Noelle Leeming; sister, Kathleen Cameron; and sister-in-law, Arlene Connolly.
Mrs. Leeming was preceded in death by her husband, Matthew Dale Leeming; and son, Thomas W. Leeming.
A funeral Mass will be held at noon, Thursday, Feb. 6, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Southport. A reception will follow the service in the fellowship hall. Mrs. Leeming will be buried next to her husband in the Hollywood Park Cemetery, Union, New Jersey.
