Margaret "Peggy" (Zullo) King

Albany- Margaret “Peggy” (Zullo) King, 75, of Framingham, MA, former longtime resident of Albany, NY, after a courageous 18-month battle with cancer, died peacefully at home surrounded by her loving family on Monday, January 21, 2019. Born and raised in Albany, NY, Peggy was the daughter of the late Jerry Dominic and Margaret Mary (Kindlon) Zullo. Growing up on Orange Street in Albany, Peggy loved spending time with her friends and family playing throughout the neighborhood, running to the local stores and shops or just hanging out on the front steps of their home. Nothing better was their regular family trips to Pittsfield, MA to visit their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. Peggy loved learning about her family’s history and traditions and sharing a lot of laughter. These traditions would eventually be passed onto her children and grandchildren. After graduating from St. Joseph’s high school in 1961, Peggy began working as a clerk for the telephone company and then for NY State as a data entry operator. Her love for family never changed as she put her career on hold to be home with her two children. Even after going back to work and finishing her career in the NY State retiree unit, Peggy always found time to spend with her family, making several trips to Massachusetts to be with her children and grandchildren. These trips were always highly anticipated by her grandchildren and created long lasting memories that will forever be cherished. Peggy’s spiritual journey took her to many parishes in the Albany area, including her childhood parish of St. Mary’s. She also served as Eucharist minister at St. Pius X and was an active member of the Third Order of Franciscans. Peggy always found a way to share her spiritual journey with others through her actions, kind words and devoted prayer life. Peggy leaves her daughter, AnnMarie MacIsaac and husband Andrew MacIsaac of Framingham, MA and her son, Jerry King (III) and wife Joy King of Franklin, MA. She is also survived by her 5 grandchildren, Maggie MacIsaac, AJ MacIsaac, Faith King, Julia King and Jerry King (IV); 2 sisters Mary Burnett (late Frank Burnett) and Ann Zullo; 5 nieces and nephews, Michael Burnett (Brenda Burnett), David Burnett, Christine Wilhelm (Eddie Wilhelm), Margaret Ann Clark (Fred Clark) and Frank Burnett (Oyku Burnett); 10 grand nieces and nephews; former spouse, Jerry King (Jr); as well as many friends both in NY and Massachusetts.
