BLOOMFIELD — Margaret Hagar Sherlock, 78, a lifelong resident of Bloomfield, passed on Saturday, March 8, 2003, at Mountainside Hospital.

Fondly known as "Peg' to friends and family, she was an esteemed scientist, an avid sportswoman, a generous philanthropist and a tireless volunteer. Most of all, though, Peg will be remembered as a devoted daughter, a loving aunt, and a steadfast friend.

Peg's father, Charles Sherlock, was a Classics scholar trained at the University of Pennsylvania. His untimely passing left his wife, Sarah (formerly Hagar), an elementary school teacher at Bloomfield's Carteret School, to raise Margaret and her older sister, Mary (later Carpenter), alone through the era of The Great Depression. A 1942 graduate of Bloomfield High School, Peg went on to earn her bachelors of science in chemistry in 1945 from St. Lawrence University in Canton, N.Y.

For the next 42 years Peg worked as a research chemist for Schering-Plough Corporation in their Bloomfield laboratories. Internationally recognized in the field of pharmaceutical chemistry, Peg's name appears on more than one hundred U.S. patents, including a primary inventor of famous chemical compounds commonly known as Chor- Trimeton (a popular antihistamine) and Banamine (a widely used veterinary medication).

Peg was a Regent of the Bloomfield chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, an elder and trustee of the Bloomfield Presbyterian Church on the Green and a founding trustee and treasurer of Bloomfield's Oakeside Cultural Center. In recognition of her many years of service and generosity to her alma mater, St. Lawrence University inducted Peg into the school's Athletic Hall of Fame and awarded her with another degree, Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

Besides living in her childhood home in Bloomfield, Peg summered in the family's camp on Cumberland Head in Plattsburgh, N.Y., where she preserved strong ties with her maternal kin throughout the Adirondacks and around Lake Champlain.

Surviving Peg is her niece, Emily Bornstein (formerly Carpenter) of Denver, Colo.; her nephews Donald and Charles Carpenter of Texas; her grandnephew, Jesse Carpenter of New Hampshire; and her grandniece Sarah Donahue (formerly Carpenter) of Plattsburgh, N.Y.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Bloomfield's Oakeside Cultural Center.
