A dear friend of Saint Benedict Center, and devoted member of the Third Order of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Peggy Carbone, has gone to her reward. Members of our local community here in New Hampshire witnessed her protracted final illness, edified by the loving attention shown to her by her husband, Robert Carbone.
Below is a notice from the Friends of Saint Benedict Center…
The Friends of Saint Benedict Center today are mourning the loss of Peggy Ann Carbone, of Richmond, New Hampshire, who died, surrounded by her loving family, on January 31st.
Peggy, who endured, with serenity and Christian fortitude, a protracted illness, was 77 years old.
A member of the Third Order of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Peggy chose, as her tertiary name, Sister Elisabeth of Hungary, after the saint to whom she was devoted.
Her husband of fifty-six years, Attorney Robert J. Carbone, whose tertiary name is Brother John Marie Vianney, MICM, is the Prefect of the Third Order.
A descendant of Scottish Highlanders, Peggy was born in Peekskill, New York. A registered nurse, who received her degree from Pace University, Mrs. Carbone was, for many years, a dedicated and widely respected member of the Medical/Surgical staff at Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Nashua.
She, and her husband Bob, went on to raise four children. Her Catholic Faith, and her vocations as a nurse and a mother, impelled Peggy to defend the right to life of the innocent pre-born. Peggy and Bob served, with distinction and zeal, as the Pro-Life Co-Chairs for the New Hampshire State Council of the Knights of Columbus.
A faithful wife and a caring mother, and an exemplar of patience in suffering, Peggy Ann Carbone was a pious, traditional Catholic, devoted to Our Lord and Our Lady, who sought to conform her life to the Theological virtues. She will be sorely missed by all who knew her.
Besides her husband, Bob, Peggy Carbone is survived by four children, twelve grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She is also survived by her sister, Cathy Friedman.
The Friends of Saint Benedict Center wish to extend their sincere sympathies and heartfelt condolences to Bob Carbone and his family on the occasion of their grievous loss.
Peggy Ann Carbone will be waked at the Cournoyer Funeral Home, at 33 River Street, in Jaffrey, New Hampshire, on Friday, February 7th, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m.
Her Requiem Mass will be celebrated at Saint Stanislaus Parish, at 80 Richmond Road (Rte. 119), in Winchester, New Hampshire, on Saturday, February 8th at 9:00 a.m.
A reception will follow at the Saint Benedict Center, at 95 Faye Martin Road, in Richmond, New Hampshire.
The burial will be in the Spring, in May.O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, grant to the souls of Your servants and handmaids departed the full remission of their sins, that, through our devout prayers, they may obtain the pardon, which they have always desired, Who live and reign, world without end. Amen. Collect of the the First Mass on All Souls Day, from the Roman Missal of Saint Pius V
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace. Amen. May her soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen. Prayers for the Bystanders at the Grave, from the Roman Ritual of Saint Pius V
It is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they might be loosed from sins. — 2 Maccabees 12:4
