Margaret M. (Rogers) Nelson, 90, of Dennis, Massachusetts, died on October 16, 2018 at South Dennis HealthCare facility, following a long illness.

Born in Worcester in 1928, Peggy was the oldest daughter of Annie and Munsell Rogers. She moved to Cape Cod in 1953, settling in South Dennis, MA, where she raised her family.

Peggy worked for Chamberlain Realty, as office manager, for 43 years. She retired in 2002, after suffering a stroke. She assisted Charlie Chamberlain in naming many of the streets and roadways of Dennis, along with helping with the management of Patriot Square in South Dennis. In addition, she served the Town of Dennis as a member of the School Committee for several years, and was a volunteer at Town elections whenever needed.

Peggy and her late husband, Donald F. Nelson shared several years of travel prior to his death in 1981. She leaves behind two daughters: Sandy Field and her husband, Craig, of South Yarmouth and Susan Dawe and her husband, Ray, of Falmouth, and one son: Rich Mathews, Jr. and his wife, Mary, of Harwich. In addition, she leaves seven grandchildren, and twelve great grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Her daughters would like to give a special thank you to the considerate caregivers at South Dennis HealthCare, for their constant attention to her needs. In addition, we are deeply thankful for the care and support from Beacon Hospice.

Burial will be private and at a later date.
