Mary Margaret " Peg " (McFadden) Kramer

Mary Margaret “Peg” McFadden Kramer went home to be with her Lord on April 21, 2024, just 4 months short of her 100th birthday. She was born on August 14, 1924, in Youngstown, Ohio and claims her first alcoholic drink was to celebrate VJ Day, her 21st birthday.

Peg was married to Robert H. “Bob” Kramer on September 6, 1947, and together they raised a family of six children in a loving and busy home. Robert (Dr. Ursula Wagner, deceased), Karen (Ronald, deceased) Mason, Lawrence (Michelle), Thomas (Jacqueline), Kenneth (Jennifer) and Margaret (Jack) McLaughlin. She was a loving Grandmother to twenty and Great Grandmother to twelve, finding immense joy in both roles. She was also extremely proud of her Irish heritage.

Peg was the daughter of Ellen (Sweeney) and Daniel McFadden. She was predeceased by siblings James (Jean) McFadden, Eileen (Daniel) Mullen, John (Doris) Mc Fadden, Kathleen McFadden, Robert (Ellen) McFadden and Rosemary (Richard) Doyle. She was a loving aunt to countless nieces and nephews.

Before Bob’s death in 2002 they enjoyed many years of golfing together and with other couples. After his passing, she continued her love of golf in several women’s leagues, achieving a hole in one at age 83. She finally “retired” her, clubs at age 94.

Peg graduated from Ursuline High School in 1942 and loved the annual Ursuline/ Cardinal Mooney (her children’s alma mater) football rivalry. During the years she raised her children she was active in many school and church activities.

Peg was a woman of faith with a strong devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. She and Bob were charter members of St Luke’s parish where she remained a parishioner until her death.
