Margaret May Clark (Davis) originally of Dover New Hampshire died peacefully in her sleep on May 19, 2021 at her home in Kennewick Washington. Peggy was born December 2, 1936 to Edgar Davis and Ida May Stone. She was the oldest of three children. She attended St. Mary’s Academy and held a lifelong admiration for the Sisters of Mercy nuns that taught there. From an early age she had two passions, sports and singing.

At the age of 18 she left Dover on a bus for New York City to pursue a career in music. Though it was the dawn of Rock and Roll Peggy Davis was a Jazz loving girl. She auditioned and toured the US with the Tommy Dorsey Band, under Warren Covington. She would share many great stories about her life in NYC and with the band, including once throwing snowballs at Elvis. In time Peggy was drawn back to the Seacoast, singing in nightclubs between Boston and Dover. It was while singing that she met the man that would become her husband, Robert Clark. They were married September 21, 1968. Together they raised their two daughters.

Peggy goes on to join her husband Bob, her sister Carol Ayers and her best friend Mary Makem. Peggy leaves behind her two daughters and their spouses, Lisa and Joachim Howard of Wells ME and Susan and Andrew McLain of Kennewick WA. Grandchildren: Matthew Mason, Jacob, Margaret, Robert and Cameron McLain. Peggy may have stopped preforming in clubs but she never stopped singing. She instilled in her daughters a love for music. No matter where she was her fingers were always tapping out the melodies in her head. Mum enjoyed life. She was a crack card player and loved to follow college sports. She enjoyed hanging out with her friends but was at her happiest when surrounded by her two girls and family. She left us far too soon and not when she would have chosen but she left the way we all would hope, at home, with family, peacefully in her sleep. Give Dad a hug from us and keep on singing Momma.

A Celebration of Life reception will be held August 7^th in New England. Details to follow.
