Margaret “Peggy” Teresa Peditto
10/19/1957 – 8/30/2026
Peggy was a beloved daughter, sister, aunt, and friend, known for her loving and giving nature and the happiness she found in seeing others succeed.
Family was at the heart of Peggy’s life. Her love could be found in the moments she shared with those closest to her—from teaching a nephew how to tie his shoes and helping another get his driver’s license, to painting her nieces’ nails. She took genuine pride in their accomplishments and was always there to celebrate their milestones, both big and small.
Peggy’s passion was hair, where her creativity and love of making others feel good shined through. She also had a special talent for seeing the potential in things others might overlook. She loved finding old lamps, clocks, keepsakes, and other forgotten treasures – restoring them, giving them new life and a place to be appreciated again.
Peggy’s generosity, creativity, and love for her family were reflected in the many lives she touched as well as the memories she created with those who loved her.
Peggy was predeceased by her Father, Joseph Peditto and Sister, Kim Dorety.
Peggy is survived by her mother, Virginia Mortland, and Stepfather, William Mortland; her Brothers, Joseph Peditto and Mark Peditto; her sister, Michele Peditto; her Brother-in-law, Joseph Dorety; and Sisters-in-law, Lisa Mancuso and Jenea Peditto. She is also lovingly remembered by her nieces, nephews; Joe and Lori, Jake and Justin Dorety, Mike and Michael Dorety, Scott, Sebastian, and Silas Dorety. Joey Peditto and Emily Noe, Gianna and Tyler Peditto, Josh and Shae Peditto, Anthony and Moxie Gregory; as well as the Eastburn, Peditto, and Mortland extended families.
We will miss you Peg, and are deeply thankful to have had you in our lives!
A memorial service will be held on September 12, 2026 from 9am- 12pm at Sweeney Funeral Home, 337 Bridgeboro Street, Riverside NJ 08075.
