Support Erin's College Journey in Memory of Peg Connolly

Donation protected
As most of you know, Peg was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer 2 years ago in the Spring of 2023. She lost her battle with this terrible disease on March 31st, 2025.

Peg was an educator at Hopkins School in New Haven, Connecticut for her entire teaching career of 38 years. She loved her Hopkins family. She also very much loved and valued education and felt that finances shouldn't be an obstacle to continuing ones' education and pursuit of lifelong learning.

Peg had expressed to family members that she was at peace knowing that she would not be with us much longer and would be joining her Mom, Dad, brother Steve, and niece Emma in Heaven.

She was concerned about her family and those that she was leaving behind, but most particular was her concern for her daughter Erin's well-being going forward. Peg needed to know that Erin would be alright.

Erin started as a freshman at the University of New Hampshire this past Fall. She has quickly gained momentum in her college career having been accepted into the Honors program after her first semester. Peg was so proud of Erin.

It is for this reason that we have set up this Go Fund Me to help with Erin's college expenses. Peg would be so pleased to know that you have helped Erin in keeping this momentum going.
