DURHAM — Peggy A. League, 65, passed away on Nov. 16, 2014. Courageously, Peggy lived her life with Cystic Fibrosis and was among the oldest survivors of the disease in New England. She was born on Dec. 6, 1948, in Topsham, the daughter of Edward H. and Phyllis E. Totman. She grew up on the family dairy farm and graduated from Brunswick High School where she played basketball and softball, and from the University of Maine.

For many years she worked in security, retiring from L.L. Bean after 20 years of service as a security guard. On Nov. 12, 1983, she married Rocky League. They shared many interests, including fly fishing, deer and bird hunting, antique cars, four wheeling, farming, gardening and a great love for their dogs and cats.

Peggy and Rocky lived life to the fullest while never compromising due to their health challenges. In retirement they zip-lined in Alaska and visited relatives in England and throughout the U.S. In recent years, they took up golf and were active in the Durham Trail Riders Association.

Peggy’s positive attitude toward life brought humor, energy and generosity to everyone she met. Rocky and his beloved wife and “bride,” Peggy, shared 31 wonderful years of marriage.

Peggy is survived by her husband, Rocky League of Durham and stepdaughters Rhonda Toothman, Ann Hammond, Kelly Thigpen and their children and grandchildren. Also surviving her are: her sister Mary Tajima and husband Yusuke of Acton, Mass.; brother John Totman and wife Judy of Old Orchard Beach; brother Dana Totman and wife Donna of Portland; and many loving nieces and nephews.
