Margaret Ann (Young) Evans died Friday, Sept. 10, 2021, at her home in Danville after a lengthy illness. She died peacefully surrounded by her family. She was 80. Peggy was born Jan. 21, 1941, in Lock Haven, Pa., to John William Young and Edna Mae (Harter) Young. She graduated from Immaculate Conception High School in Lock Haven. Upon completion of her nursing training at St. Joseph's Hospital School of Nursing in Carbondale, she moved to New York City to work at Columbia University's Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center. During her career at Columbia, she worked at the Neurological Institute as a neurosurgical nurse and at Babies Hospital on the cystic fi brosis team. While working at Columbia's Harkness Pavilion as a private-duty nurse, she met her future husband, James F. Evans, M.D. They married on June 22, 1971, and moved to Hanover, N.H., where she worked as a nurse in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. After her husband's military service at the Cutler Army Hospital in Fort Devens, Mass., they returned to NYC and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, where her husband obtained additional training in cancer surgery and Peggy cared for their three young children, Sarah, Jamie and Andy. Her three children and her husband always remained the center of her life. In August 1980, she moved to Danville, where her husband directed the new surgical oncology program at Geisinger Medical Center. It was during these early years in Danville that she established a reputation among neighbors, teachers, coaches, and school administrators for being a formidable advocate for her children. After raising their three children, Peggy returned to her nursing career at Maria Joseph Manor and later at the Emmanuel Center for Nursing, where she fi lled dual roles in patient care and administration. In 2010, she retired from Emmanuel, completing a 50-year nursing career, and started her volunteer career at Maria Hall in Danville. She continued her volunteer work until her illness forced her to stop in 2017. Through her years of caring for the elderly, she made many lifelong friends who have helped her during her time of illness. Outside of nursing, her passions were her close friends, her animals, her beautiful fl ower garden, and traveling to visit her children. In 2021, she and her husband celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. She was predeceased by her grandmother: Bridget Young; her parents; aunt Marie Closesy; uncle Joseph Young; aunt Katherine Welliver; aunt Margaret Zuroski; and uncle George Young. Surviving relatives include her husband; a daughter, Sarah Tyler Evans and son-in-law David Rickard of Arlington, Va.; a son, James deHoll Evans and daughter-in-law Kuyler Marsh of Seattle, Wash.; a son, Andrew Garret Evans and daughter-in-law Kayla Evans of Danville; six grandchildren; her brother, Bill and sister-in-law Nancy Young of Rockport, Ind.; and many cousins. Peggy and her family wish to express sincere gratitude to the oncology team at Knapper Clinic, led by Rajiv Panikkar, M.D., and including many wonderful nurses. The same gratitude also goes to the hospice team at Evangelical Community Hospital, including Kathy, Julie, Andrea and Laura. A private memorial service is planned for family members. The family will be receiving friends at a time and location to be announced. Donations in Peggy's name can be made to the ASPCA in Danville; Maria Joseph Manor, Inc.; and to Maria Hall of the Sisters of Saints Cyril and Methodius in Danville.
