CUSHING — Peggy Sue Martin, 64, died Tuesday, April 18, 2023, with her family by her side in Rockport, after a short, but courageous battle with cancer.

Born in Rockland, September 8, 1958, she was the daughter of Charles and Vivian Mansfield of Thomaston. Peggy attended local schools, graduating from Georges Valley High School, and married her high school sweetheart, Randy Martin, in June 1976, in Thomaston.

For the last eight years, Peggy worked in food services at Medomak Valley High School in Waldoboro, most recently as the kitchen manager. Peggy found the most joy in spending time with her family, giving gifts, traveling with her husband Randy, and in the company of dogs. She had a particular fondness for yellow Labradors, especially her Hannah.

Peggy is survived by her devoted husband, Randy, of Cushing; her beloved son, Nicholas Martin and his wife, Kate, of Thomaston; her mother and father-in-law, Elsie and Herbert Martin, of Cushing; three sisters, Patty Buzzell and her husband Leon of Waldoboro, Charlene Wadsworth of Thomaston, and Joy Struk of Warren; her brother Scott Mansfield and his wife Darla of Rockport; her sister-in-law Pam Heal and her husband John of Warren; as well as many nieces, nephews, and close friends.
