Obituary for Margaret "Peggy" Condon-Vance
Margaret R. “Peggy” Condon-Vance, 60, passed away March 1, 2020, in her Brecknock Township residence.
She was the loving wife of Dennis Vance. They married on September 10, 1983.
Born in Camden, NJ, she was a daughter of the late Stephen and Marian (Harman) Condon.

Peggy was a member of St. Benedict’s Roman Catholic Church, Mohnton.

Peggy’s primary hobbies were teaching kids from elementary through high school Robotics and assisting Berks area schools with their STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) programs. She taught several summer camps with Robotics. However, the true loves of her life were her horses, and spending time with the grandchildren.
Peggy was a wonderful wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was also a kind and compassionate woman with a heart of gold.

Three brothers – Steven, Phillip, and Chris; and one sister Ellen; six and a half grandchildren: Maya Cruz, Lilly Cruz, Jinora Hill, Keegan Hill, Ava Cruz and Nolan Vance and one additional Cruz grandson currently “under construction”.
