Margaret (Peggy) C. Hogan, 79, of North Palm Beach, Florida and Narragansett, Rhode Island, died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, November 23, 2022. She was the beloved wife of the late William E. Hogan Jr. for 55 years. Born in Providence, she was the daughter of the late Henry P. Doorley and Margaret M. (Ryan) Doorley Walsh.
Margaret was a graduate of St. Xavier’s Academy. She went onto earn a Sociology degree from Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island. She dedicated over 26 years to the Providence Public Schools where she worked as a Reading Teacher at Mary E. Fogarty Elementary School. Devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Peggy focused tirelessly on her children and grandchildren. Always warm and welcoming, she entertained family and friends from the mountains of New Hampshire, to the sands of Bonnet Shores and to the waters of Florida. She was a well-known holiday enthusiast, especially spreading holiday cheer with her memorable Christmas displays. Proud of her Irish Heritage, she reveled in Irish celebrations near and far. Margaret was an avid golfer and a member of Potowomut Golf Club and Bonnet Shores Women's League for many years. Always game for any adventure, she enjoyed her golf outings along with her annual trips to Block Island with family and friends.
