It is with great sadness that The Garden Club of the Back Bay announces the passing of one of our long time members, Peggy Nakache. Peggy moved to Palo Alto, California earlier this year to be with family while in hospice care. Below is a picture taken at one of our January tea meetings a few years ago.

Born in Hartford, Connecticut to Joseph and Alice Lynch, Peggy received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design in 1954. She continued her studies for two years at École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, obtaining certification in French language studies. An accomplished, celebrated artist, Peggy’s work is found in the permanent collections of L’Ambassade du Liban in Paris, Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC and exhibited in solo and group shows at galleries in the United States and France. In 1957, Peggy married Fernand Robert Nakache, who predeceased her. She is survived by their two daughters, Catherine “Kate” Kemether and Patricia Nakache.

A memorial service celebrating Peggy’s life will take place on Cape Cod in the near future. Notes of condolence can be sent to her daughters in care of:
