Notes for Margaret PANCOAST
Margaret Pancoast Morris of West Chester Margaret Pancoast Morris, of West Chester, Pennsylvania, born April 1, 1915 in a blizzard, died on September 12, 2011, lovingly surrounded by her children, Nicholas W. Morris (Madelyn), of Wyoming; Priscilla M. Wellford (Carter), of Virginia; and Anthony Morris (Betty), of West Chester, and by many of her grandchildren. She was predeceased by her husband, Nicholas W. Morris, whom she married in 1941 after he won her heart, at least in part, by flying her around in his Ryan aircraft on moonlit nights. She was also predeceased by her son, David P. Morris. Peggy was the daughter of the late Howard D. Pancoast and the late Kathleen Allen Pancoast and was raised on her family's farm at Allendale in King of Prussia. Her two brothers and three sisters also predeceased her. Peg had a unique and special relationship with each of her thirteen grandchildren and was thrilled when each of her twelve great grandchildren was born. Peggy graduated from the Phoebeanna Thorne School and attended Harcum in Bryn Mawr. She was a member of the St. Peter's Episcopal Church in the Great Valley where she was on the Auxiliary for many years. She belonged to the Busy Bees in Chester Springs and was also a charter member of the Conestoga Garden Club where she shared and gained her noteworthy gardening experience, particularly with flowers. Peg was devoted to her service on the Paoli Memorial Auxiliary where she spent more than thirty-five years as a volunteer helping families in the operating and emergency waiting rooms. Peg also loved to knit, needlepoint and sew. In 1954 she and her husband, Nick, moved to Chester Springs where they renovated an old Pennsylvania farm which came to be known as Allenwaln. While Nick did the heavy lifting, it was Peg who made the house into a warm and happy home where all were welcome to share her excellent cooking. Many family friends can remember how she could "hold" a meal well beyond the appointed dinner hour and that it would still have its gourmet taste. This also held true for happy times spent at their summer cottage, the Pickle House, in Beach Haven, New Jersey. A private graveside service will be held at St. David's Episcopal Church in Devon.
