Ruth (Miller) Peglow, 97, of Londonderry, NH passed away on Sunday, March 16th, 2025 at Parkland Medical Center, in Derry, NH.

Ruth was born in Lawrence, MA and graduated from Lawrence High School.  She was very proud to have worked for Greico Clothing Company for many years.  Ruth and her husband Don owned and operated Don's Outboard Marine, Inc. in Salem for many years.  She and her husband owned the sailboat Zuider Zee III and sailed many places including Nova Scotia, Bermuda, the Bahamas and the Virgin Islands.

Ruth liked to cook, garden and knit in her spare time.  She made several braided rugs throughout the years.  Because of Ruth's detail oriented personality, the slow and painstaking process of rug making was a joy for her.  Ruth was also a faithful Wheel of Fortune watcher and enjoyed watching it with her family every night.

Ruth will be remembered for her big welcoming hugs and she will be greatly missed by her son Gary, his wife Mary and by her grandchildren and great-grandchild.

Ruth was predeceased by father Robert, mother Alice, her daughter Donna, brother Robert and an infant sister.

Ruth was laid to rest with her husband of 56 years, Donald in Bellevue Cemetery in Lawrence, MA.
