Margaret (Peg) York, 95, died July 3 at her home in Delray Beach, Fla. She and her late husband, Jerry H. York, lived in Carmel nearly 50 years where she owned and operated the York Kindergarten and Day School for 33 years. She also served on the Carmel Clay School Board for 12 years.
Born in Illinois in 1925, Mrs. York moved to Indianapolis at an early age with her parents where she graduated from Shortridge High School and Butler University.
She was an avid golfer, making eight holes-in-one at Woodland Country Club and later in Florida. She was also the winner of the Carmel Rotary Club ROSA award for community service.
Mrs. York is survived by three daughters: Kathleen, Rebecca and Cynthia, and one son, Stephen. There are 11 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.
The Yorks retired to Florida 20 years ago, first to Fort Myers and later to Delray Beach.
A memorial service in Carmel will be scheduled in August.
Thank you Fred Swift for posting about my mother Peggy York’s recent death. She lived an amazing life and we hope to share her accomplishments and her at her celebration of life service. We have not established a date for this yet as family will be coming to Carmel. Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes. Kathy Marshall
