Diana Irey Vaughan knew Peg Wilson quite well and for quite a while. Irey Vaughan has been a Washington County commissioner since 1995, about the time Wilson became involved with the Greater Washington County Food Bank.
They worked together on a number of initiatives, and fostered a mutual respect that endures with the commissioners chair.
âPeg cared very deeply about her community,â Irey Vaughan said Thursday afternoon. âShe worked very hard in her mission to eliminate food insecurity and built a great number of partnerships.â
Margaret Jean Wilson, 91, board president of the Centerville-based food bank, died on Sunday at Premier Washington Health Center. She also was a longtime political figure, serving on state and county Democratic committees, including time on the latterâs executive board.
