It is with great sadness that we share the passing of our beautiful friend and fellow member, Margaret (Peggy) Williamson, who passed away yesterday, 20 July 2026.
For the past 38 years, Peggy has been a much-loved and dedicated member of both the Terrigal Day and Terrigal Evening Branches of the Country Women's Association of NSW. Her contribution to our Branch, our Group, and our Association was truly remarkable.
Peggy was especially passionate about baking, and this year she proudly qualified for the CWA State Competition with not just one, but two cakes—an achievement she was quietly proud of and one we all celebrated with her.
She was a familiar face at the CWA State Conference each year, only missing the conference in Wagga Wagga because she was enjoying a well-deserved Mediterranean cruise with David.
Throughout her years of service, Peggy held many leadership roles, including President of the Terrigal Evening Branch, Northumberland Group International Officer, and, at the time of her passing, was faithfully serving as our Agriculture & Environment Officer and International Officer.
At our Branch meeting last night, we found comfort in sharing so many wonderful memories of Peggy. We remembered her cheeky smile, her kind and gentle nature, and the fact that she never had a bad word to say about anyone or any situation. We laughed as we recalled how she would often gently chastise herself when things didn't quite go to plan—always with good humour that brought a smile to those around her.
Peggy embodied the very best of CWA—kindness, generosity, friendship, service, and community. She touched the lives of so many people and leaves behind a legacy that will continue to inspire us all.
Our heartfelt condolences are with David, their family, and all who had the privilege of knowing and loving Peggy.
Rest peacefully, dear Peggy. Thank you for your friendship, your dedication, and the countless memories you have given us. You will be deeply missed but never forgotten. 💙🌹
