Margaret (Peg) Hyslop of Westmore, Vt., died unexpectedly on December 1, 2022. She was born January 29, 1943 In Putnam, CT.
She earned a degree in accounting and worked as an inside sales representative for Linemaster Foot Switch Co. for many years. After marriage in 1988 to her soul mate, Pete Hyslop, a new adventure awaited.
Together they created P & P Concessions and served customers with Pete’s Roast Beef for over 30 years.
They also founded “Above It All,” a hot air balloon company, providing scenic rides and took part in several proposals and weddings.
Peg was a very charitable person, donating blood, working to raise money for a camp for sick kids, and was always available to anyone that needed help in any way. She had a love for nature and wildlife. She especially loved frogs and this led to the naming of the home she and her husband built as Frog Hollow Farm where she enjoyed gardening, cooking, long walks and living in the peacefulness of nature.
She often said it is so wonderful to look out and see the deer, turkeys and the bears and not another house in sight. She rescued many birds after collisions with windows leaving the feeders. She nursed them back to health and was delighted to see them fly away. She also enjoyed snowmobiling, travel, and a scenic ride in the boat or Corvette.
Peg was a loving and kind soul. She would often remark, “We work together, we play together, and we love together. It doesn’t get any better than that.”
She will be deeply missed by her husband Peter, family, friends and the dogs that she rescued.
She leaves: Her husband of nearly 35 years, Peter Hyslop of Westmore; her daughter Rebecca Cord (Terri) of Jamestown, Ind.; son Bill Bergeron of New Bern, N.C., granddaughters Elyse Bergeron of Willington and Sadie Bergeron of North Brookfield, Mass.; father-in-law, Ronald Hyslop, Yarmouth, Mass., sister-in-law Janice Flagg (Clint) of Dennis, Mass.; sisters Betty Johnson of Woodstock, Lynda Bergeron of Medway, Mass., Kathy Johnson and husband Ken Gardner of Putnam; nieces and nephews. She is predeceased by her daughter Robin Bergeron; fur babies Sparky and Bear; and her parents Herbert and Florence Johnson.
Peg did not want any formal services or to inflict sorrow on her loved ones and friends. There will be a Celebration of Life held on her wedding anniversary June 25, 2023, at Frog Hollow Farm.
