Featured Obituary:

Marguerite “Peg” O’Shea nee Morley, age 80. Born in New York on August 6, 1937. Died in Chicago on September 6, 2017 after a long battle with cancer. Peg was the beloved wife of Kenneth Anderson, the loving mother of Judine (Hugh Musick) O’Shea and Christopher (Catherine) O’Shea, the caring grandmother of Morley and Eleanor Musick, Caroline and Elizabeth O’Shea, the dear sister of Thomas (Kay) Morley and the late Mary Patricia Lekowski, the devoted daughter of the late Patrick Martin Morley and Marie Gavin Morley and aunt to many nieces and nephews.

A fashion model early in her career, Peg kept a keen interest in design for the rest her life.

She was the General Manager of the Millennium Plaza for many years and later became a successful residential real estate broker.

An avid reader, she read widely and was acutely aware of national politics and world events.

Most of all, she loved spending time with her husband of 37 years, Ken, and her children and grandchildren.
