Margaret “Peggy” Thomson
Margaret Jean Thomson, age 99, of Rochester, MN died on Sunday, December 27, 2020 at Mayo Clinic Campus, St. Mary’s Hospital.
Peggy was born on December 11, 1921 in Bradford, PA to William Holleran and Jessica (Schrock) Holleran. She grew up in Bradford where she met and married her beloved husband of 64 years, Albert H. Thomson, on July 1, 1944. Peggy was a devoted wife and mother. In the early 60’s, the family moved to Evansville, IN where Peggy and Al made many lifelong friendships and became valued members of the community. In 2004, Peggy and Al moved to Mayo Clinic’s Charter House Retirement Community in Rochester, MN to be near family. They were so grateful to the Charter House staff and residents for their loving care and support over the years.
