Orrange

(from Watford Historical Society files)

Margaret (Peg) Julia Orrange (1921–1993) was the third of six children. The Orrange family moved from Inwood to Alvinston and finally to Watford at the end of the 1920s. Peg lost her father, John, in 1944. She lived with and cared for her mother, Bertha, until her mother’s death in 1972.

In 1947 Peg began a long career with the Bank of Montreal in Watford. She was a popular fixture there until her retirement in 1980. Peg had a good friend, Bob Rawlings, throughout most of her years in Watford. Peg was part of a big family, but she became “Aunt Peg” to an even bigger family in the Watford community. Her spacious home received frequent visitors, and Peg was well known for her special blend of Irish hospitality.
