Margaret “Peggy” Esposito entered into her eternal home with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on March 6, 2015, in Gilroy, CA, surrounded by family and friends. After 81 years of a life filled with love, joy, pain, and suffering, she breathed her last and went home to her Heavenly Father and to eternal peace in the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Peggy was preceded in death by husband, Edward Esposito; daughter, Lynn Esposito Kovach.
Peggy is survived by her sister, Ruthann Frasco of New Jersey; son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Debby Esposito son-in-law, Dr. Peter Kovach; and grandchildren: Bradley, Andrea, and Natalie Kovach, and Alessandra, Valentino, Dominic, and Gabriella Esposito; all of Gilroy.
Peggy was born in Paterson, NJ on October 17, 1933. It was unknown at the time of her birth that she had hip dysplasia. Even still, after countless surgeries and lonely times in children’s hospitals, she graduated from East Side High School in Paterson, New Jersey in 1953.
Peggy married WWII Army Air Forces veteran Edward Esposito (August 20, 1922 – October 15, 1994) in 1955. And, despite being told she would not be able to have children, raised two; Lynn Esposito (Kovach) (September 17, 1956 – January 28, 2011) and Robert Esposito.
Until she was no longer able, Peggy remained active in church and organizations like The Red Hat Society.
Peggy’s greatest loves were her family, friends, singing, playing piano, and above all, sharing Jesus.
She was grateful, kind, a prayer warrior and the epitome of patience in affliction.
Margaret “Peggy” Esposito October 17, 1933 – March 6, 2015
