New Castle, PA - Margaret "Peggy" Wimer, age 101, of New Castle, Pennsylvania, passed away the morning of Jan. 21, 2026, at Butler Memorial Hospital.

Born July 28, 1924, in Butler, County, Pennsylvania, she was the daughter of the late Daniel and Velma (McClure) McDeavitt.

On March 20, 1945, she married to her beloved husband, Gaylord Wimer Sr., until his passing.

Margaret was a graduate of Harlansburg School.

She loved to read, garden and sew.

She was the matriarch of her family, and the Rose Point area. She was known as Gram to everyone. She carried herself with quiet strength and deep faith, teaching by example more than words ever could.

Margaret did everything for everybody. Her home was always open, and so was her refrigerator. No one ever left hungry. Though she has left this world, Margaret's legacy lives on in the values she passed down, the traditions she built and the countless lives she touched simply by being herself.

Margaret was a faithful member of Oak Grove Presbyterian Church.

Survivors include one daughter, Karen Hunt of New Castle, Pennsylvania; one son, Gaylord Wimer Jr., of New Castle, Pennsylvania; nine grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and three great-great-grandchildren.

In addition to her parents and husband, Margaret was preceded in death by son, Daniel Wimer; brother, Merle McDeavitt; and two great-grandchildren, Haylee and Remington.

Visitation will be 2 to 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 26, at the R. Cunningham Funeral Home & Crematory, Inc., 2429 Wilmington Road, New Castle.

A funeral service will be held at 5 p.m. immediately following visitation, with Pastor Judy Wilson of Oak Grove Presbyterian Church, officiating.

Burial will be alongside her husband at Mt. Hermon Cemetery.
