Marguerite "Peggy" L. Pettingell, 81, died on April 12, 2024 at Riverwoods Durham Assisted Living. She was born on June 13, 1942 in Berlin, NH, the daughter of the late Adelard and Eva Delia (Letellier) Langevin.
A longtime resident of Berlin, Peggy grew up the youngest of 10 children and graduated from Notre Dame High School in 1960. In 1985 she began working as a translator for Perini International Corporation where she met Warren H. Pettingell. They later married and after living in Southboro, MA, retired to East Kingston, NH. She had resided in Durham the last two years. Peggy loved flowers and working in her garden. She also enjoyed knitting and solving puzzles. She had a unique sense of humor that endeared her to everyone that knew her. "There will always be a chair for her at the fire with a glass of wine."
