Margaret “Peggy” E. McGill, age 92, of Fallston, Maryland, passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 11, 2026. Born in Baltimore, Maryland, she was the daughter of the late John Joseph Ilgenfritz and Marie Helen (Buettner) Ilgenfritz, and the beloved wife of the late Donald L. McGill.

Peggy was a patient, strong, and deeply selfless woman who always placed the needs of others before her own. Her family was the center of her world, and she devoted her life to loving, supporting, and caring for them. She was cherished by all who met her, not only for her gentle spirit, but for her kind demeanor that made everyone feel welcomed and valued.

A talented and avid crafter, Peggy delighted in sharing her creativity with others. Her generous heart touched countless lives through her warmth, compassion, and unwavering devotion to her family. Her faith was a guiding force throughout her life, and she was a faithful parishioner of St. Mark Catholic Church. Having lived in Harford County for over 60 years, Peggy was deeply rooted in the community she proudly called home.

Peggy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, her parents, her brother John Ilgenfritz, and her sister Marie Leek.

She is survived by her loving children, Lynn Masterson, Patrick (Patricia) McGill, Michael (Donna) McGill, Shawn (Carol) McGill, and Kelly (Geri) McGill; her sisters, Bernadette McCarty and Carol Stripling; and many grandchildren and great‑grandchildren who will forever cherish her memory and carry her love forward.
