In Memoriam: Red Bank Resident, Longtime Chapel Beach Club Member, Peg Smith, 82

Red Bank resident, Margaret Mary “Peg” Smith, passed away peacefully on Nov. 30, surrounded by her loving family. She was 82.

“Peg spent her life surrounded by the love of her family and friends with whom she cherished every moment. She had a rewarding 40-year career at Marshalls in Shrewsbury and was known for her dedication and warm personality. Peg was a longtime member of Chapel Beach Club where she spent countless summers enjoying her grandchildren and soaking up the sun. An avid reader, she enjoyed spirited conversation offering wisdom, perspective and insight. Her debate skills will be sorely missed. She was a devoted Catholic who shared her faith, kindness, and laughter with those around her. Peg’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. She will be deeply missed.”
