79-Year-Old Hoboken Woman Killed While Riding Bike Was Prominent Quilter
In March 2004, Margaret "Peggy" McGeary, a Hoboken woman who was working as a sign-maker, was on foot when she was hit by an SUV. Incredibly, the then-64-year-old suffered no broken bones and was able to leave the hospital that day (although she would spend several months in physical therapy).

She went on to open Mile Square Fabric Studio and became a prominent figure in the area's quilting community. On Monday, McGear…
