Born on September
21, 1962 in Lowville, to James and Helen (Berrus) Burke, she graduated
from Lowville Academy in 1980. She formerly worked as an LPN at Lewis
County General Hospital. Peggy married Michael F. Young of Lowville in
1985, later earning her Paralegal Degree from Utica College. She worked
as a paralegal for 8 years at The Young Law Firm.
She is survived by her loving husband, Richard THESIER, whom she married on December 29th, 2001. Together they operated Thesier Tax & Accounting Services and a successful payroll business.
Over 25 years, they built a beautiful family, with seven children, Matthew (Lydia) Young, Mollie Young, Meredith (Addison) Sullivan, Emily (Kyle) Miller, Danielle Thesier, Kelli Jo (Michael) Guyette and Christopher (Hollie) Thesier, as well as four beloved grandchildren, Jaden, Carter, Maggie and Declan.

Peg was very active in the local community; she was a patron of St. James Catholic Church, Carthage, a member of the Carthage Chamber of Commerce, the Bassett-Baxter Post #789 American Legion Auxiliary and the Women’s twilight golf league at Carlowden Country Club.
Raised on a dairy farm on Tug Hill, she acquired a love for the outdoors. She was often found gardening, tending to her horses, picking leeks and enjoying her “Farm” on County Route 45.
Peggy brought people together through her cooking and love of entertaining; she enjoyed traveling and spending time at her condo in Florida. Above all, she loved spending time with her family. Her greatest pride was rooted in the success of her children and her deepest love was for her grandchildren.
