With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Margaret Ricketts who many know as “Peg”,
a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and cherished member of our community. She
peacefully departed this world on March 21st after a valiant battle with cancer and dementia,
surrounded by her loving family.
Born September 15, 1946 to Martin Harold Murray and Helen Adele Murray, Peg was raised with love
and instilled with values that she carried throughout her life. She was preceded in death by her dear
parents and four siblings, Hal Murray, Rose Gunia, Jim Murray and Renie Murray. She is survived by her
devoted husband, Patrick Ricketts, and their four children, Terry (Yanira) Ricketts, Andy (Alyssa) Ricketts,
Mary (Adam) Matthews and Tricia Ricketts, who were her pride and joy. Peg found immense joy in her
role as a mother and her legacy lives on through her children and their spouses, Yanira Ricketts, Alyssa
Ricketts, and her Son by Love Adam Matthews.
She adored her seven grandchildren, Aaliyah and Monica (Mary), Claire, Zachary, Wyatt, and Kieran
(Terry), and Adalae (Andy), and cherished every moment spent with them, imparting wisdom, love, and
laughter. Peg found solace and strength in her faith, and her unwavering devotion to God was evident in
every aspect of her life, and she loved Jesus. She was an active and dedicated member of St. Philip Neri-
Blessed Sacrament, where she served tirelessly, touching the lives of many with her kindness and
compassion.
Peg will be remembered for her infectious smile, her cute laugh, gentle spirit, and unwavering love for
her family and friends. Her legacy of faith, resilience, and unconditional love will continue to inspire all
who had the privilege of knowing her.
In this time of sorrow, we find comfort in knowing that Peg is now reunited with her heavenly Father and
all those who went before her. Though she may be physically absent, her presence will forever remain in
our hearts and memories.
There will be a Vigil Monday March 25th beginning with a visitation at 6pm, followed by the vigil service
at 6:30pm located at St. Philip Neri-Blessed Sacrament Church 8200 N 30th St, Omaha, NE 68112.
A celebration of Peg's life will be held on Tuesday March 26th at 10am at St. Philip Neri-Blessed
Sacrament. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to St. Philip Neri-Blessed Sacrament,
in honor of Peg's memory.
As we mourn the loss of our beloved Peg, let us also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the
profound impact she had on all who knew her. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
"With faith in God, we find strength in our sorrow and comfort in our memories."
Sincerely,
The Family of Margaret Ricketts
