Margaret "Peggy" Corey

Margaret “Peggy” Corey, 60, of Weirton, WV, passed away unexpectedly at her home on Sunday, February 1, 2026.

Peggy was born on August 13, 1965, in Weirton, WV, one of five daughters born to the late Dale and Dixie Markley Monroe. She graduated from Weir High School in 1983.

Peggy was first employed at Pavlik Chevrolet before turning her love of cleaning into a career, providing cleaning services throughout the Tri-State area.

Peggy will be remembered for her generosity and her constant desire to help others. She had a truly big heart and never let anyone leave her home hungry. Her grandchildren fondly recalled that no visit was complete without Peggy asking, “Can I make you a ham sandwich?” She showed love through food, kindness, and care.

She also adored her dogs, Pugsley and Bella, whom she spoiled endlessly; often sharing human treats like peaches, lunch meat, and even Mountain Dew.

Peggy is lovingly remembered by her ex-husband, with whom she shared her home and daily life, Mike Corey; her son, Alex Corey (Mandi Miller); her grandchildren, who adored her, Brayden Corey, Gionni Starr, and Paxton Corey; and her sisters, Becky (Brian) Cain, Kathy (Ron) Lesky, Vicki (Kenny) Utt, and Lisa (Dwayne Greathouse) Ayers.

Friends and relatives will be received on Friday from 12 noon until 1:00 PM at the Greco-Hertnick Funeral Home, 3219 Main Street, Weirton, WV, where funeral services will be held at 1:00 PM.
