Woodstock, Vermont

Margaret "Peg" Francis Dodd Maynes, 89, died Saturday morning February 4, 2017 surrounded by family at The Woodstock Terrace.

Peg was born in New York City, the daughter of Charles John and May Belton Dodd.
She was raised in New York City and graduated from St. Catherine's of Sienna Grammar School. At the onset of World War II, she moved with her parents to Woodstock Vermont and graduated from Woodstock High School in 1945.

After World War II, the family returned to New York City and Peg pursued a career in fashion. She was a buyer and model for B. Altman and Company in Manhattan.

During High School, Peg was introduced to her future husband by her best friend Mary Maynes Maxham. After a long distance courtship they married in Woodstock in 1950.

For a time, Peg and her husband, Jim owned and operated the Barnard General Store. After raising her children, she continued her interest in fashion by working for a number of retail stores including MacHughs Inc., Town and Country, Clover Gift Shop, the Linen Closet and Scotland by the Yard.

Peg was a long-standing member of Our Lady of the Snows Catholic Church, an active member of St. Anne's Club, its Sunshine Committee and the Red Hat Society.

Peg was a wonderful lady who had a positive outlook on life and the ability to make all she knew feel special. She had a sincere interest in everyone she met. Nothing pleased her more than spending time with her family and friends, including several trips to Ireland and winters in North Myrtle Beach with her in laws and close friends.

We love and miss you mom!

Predeceased by her parents, two brothers Thomas and Charles Dodd, husband James H. Maynes and their son Dennis M. Maynes. She is survived by her son Kevin Maynes and fiancé Toni Brown of Texas, her daughter, Mary Koury of New Hampshire, and her daughter Jane and husband Stephen Johnson of Connecticut, sister-in-law Harriet Maynes of Vermont and many, many nieces and nephews.
