Willie T. (Peggy) DeMaio was born into eternal life July 29, 2020. Daughter of the late Maggie and Willie Taylor & DeMaio, she was 93. Peggy loved more than anything spending time her children and grandchildren.
As a teen she worked during WWII at Norfolk Naval Shipyard delivering mail on her bicycle. She was an Operator for C & P Telephone Company, a position she was proud of. Peggy always put her family first. An avid swimmer, she taught numerous kids her skills and provided fun at the beach & in her backyard pool. Every night family suppers began with the Blessing and Peggy making sure there was “something green on your plate”. Her favorite place for fun as well as peace was the beach. Her loves included animals and Johnny Cash. She was a member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church for over 70 years.
Keeping her memories alive are her children: Carmine DeMaio, Jr.; Peggy Buyna (Dave); Teresa Stone (Robert); grandchildren: James DeMaio, John DeMaio, Denny Alter, Wendy Boyd, Robert Buyna, and Larkin Stone; four great-grandchildren; brother, Roland; nieces, nephews, friends, and her baby, Sheba. A Requiem Mass will be at Holy Trinity with burial at St. Mary’s, Norfolk.
