Obituary
Peggy Lou Laskey, formerly of Hermitage, passed away at 6:25 a.m. Monday, May 27, 2019, in Clepper Manor, Sharon. She was 95.
Mrs. Laskey was born March 21, 1924, in Sharon, a daughter of the late Henry and Gussie (Herskowitz) Wayne. A lifelong area resident, she was a 1941 alumna of Sharon High School where her class yearbook stated she was "a black haired beauty destined to go places."
Her husband, Hersh Laskey, whom she married October 24, 1942, passed away April 3, 1986. They owned Laskey's Furniture for many years and following their retirement, enjoyed spending the winter months in Florida.
Peggy was a member of the former Temple Beth Israel, Sharon, and its Hadassah and Sisterhood.
She was an exceptional homemaker and known for her delicious apple pies.
Peggy's family was the most important aspect of her life. She was a great mother to her three sons and enjoyed attending her grandchildren's activities until the age of 90.
Loved by everyone, she will be fondly remembered as a loving lady who never said a bad word about anyone.
She is survived by her three sons, Gary Laskey (Mary), Steve Laskey (Carol) and Jay Laskey (Carol), all of Hermitage; twelve grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren; a great great grandson; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Besides her parents and husband, Peggy was preceded in death by three sisters, Matilda Bellman, Natalie Adler and Eileen Gilbert; and a brother, Albert Wayne.
