Margaret "Peg" Cohen
On Thursday, October 13, 2011, at the age of 93, Peg went suddenly and gently into that good night. She was the proud and beloved godmother of Abby, Ethan, and Gregory Schaffer, and beloved friend of their parents, Michele Gray-Schaffer and Eric Schaffer. She was predeceased by parents Philip and Fannie, and sisters Lillian and Ruth. Peg’s loving friends were devoted and attentive to her during her final illness, and she will be sorely missed. In addition to the Schaffer family, they include Lynne Morrow, Gary and Karen Sinwell, Donna and Larry Blanchard, Linda Buccina, Judy Robinson, Lois Blaufeld, Posy and Jack Brill, Connie Pelmon, and Sara and Meir Shur and children. She also leaves behind devoted aide Tierra Fitzgerald and cousins Roz and Mitchell Yankowitz of LA. Peg was a career woman who was the office manager for the Pittsburgh office of the National Labor Relations Board. She was widely travelled, with Paris holding a special place in her heart. She adored all things French. She was a lifelong gardener, and her garden is a place of magic and beauty. She cultivated and coaxed the best out of both plants and friends. Graveside service and interment were held at Poale Zedeck Memorial Park Cemetery. Contributions can be made to the Biblical Garden at Rodef Shalom Temple, 4905 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213 or Hadassah-Greater Pittsburgh Chapter, 1824 Murray Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15217.
