League mourns death of member Peggy Thomas
The Broward League lost a valued member and Broward County lost a community servant in the recent passing of Peggy Thomas. Barbara Markley, co-chair of the Gun Violence Prevention action team wrote this about Peggy:
Peggy Thomas was a wonderful League member and tireless Gun Violence Prevention committee volunteer. Peggy's energy and enthusiasm and sweet smile were inspiring. Whether she was tabling at an event or accepting a proclamation at a commission meeting on behalf of the League, she never let her infirmities slow her down.
When tabling at events, she would load up her bag with rack cards and handouts and scoot around in her wheelchair through the crowd, stopping everyone to talk about safe storage and how to save lives.
Peggy was also president of the AARP Chapter in Plantation/Broward. She once invited me to speak at a meeting about safe storage and masterfully handled some difficult people at the meeting. She was soft-spoken but confident and strong. She will be greatly missed.
Service for Peggy will be in Maryland. If anyone wishes to send a condolence card, her sister is Sharon Julius, 910 Beacon Way, Annapolis, Maryland 21401; sejulius@verizon.net.
