Peter 'Pete' MacVeigh, 74 LAUREL - Peter "Pete" MacVeigh, of Laurel, died at home on Saturday, July 12, 2008, of a massive heart attack. He was 74. Pete was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. He graduated from Washington High School, Princess Anne, Md. After joining the Army as an Enlisted Reserve, he served two years in Germany, where he attended the NCO Academy in Munich. After returning to the United States with his new wife, Harriett, he worked for Safeway Stores in Salisbury, Md., Federalsburg, Md., and in Laurel, retiring as a retail manager in 1996. After retirement, Pete worked part-time at the Hardesty Cigarette Outlet, Seaford. He was a lifetime member of the Federalsburg VFW and the Laurel American Legion Post 19. He was a member of the Girl Scouts of America, The Chesapeake Bay Council, and the Girl Scouts Alumnae Association. Pete was a member of the Lions lub, The Jaycees, Local Union 27, The Hatchet Club, the Laurel Alumnae, and the Laurel Senior Center. Pete was a devoted family man, who deeply loved his wife, children and grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Peter and Emily MacVeigh; and a sister, Judy MacVeigh Perdue. Pete is survived by his wife of 53 years, Harriett; his son, Jay H. MacVeigh of Laurel; his daughter and son-in-law, Melody and John Carroll of Elburn, Ill.; his daughter and son-in-law, Maria and Charles Glenn of Laurel; two grandchildren, Johnny and Emily Carroll; two sisters, Susan MacVeigh Stewart of Bishopville, and Corey MacVeigh Donaway and her husband Les of Catonsville, Md.; many nieces and nephews and a multitude of friends and acquaintances. Mr. MacVeigh was an organ donor, so there will be no viewing and at his request, no flowers. Donations in his memory may be made to the Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay, 501 South College Ave., Newark, DE 19711; or the charity of your choice. A memorial celebration of his life was held at the Laurel American Legion Home Post 19, Laurel. Arrangements by the Hannigan, Short, Disharoon Funeral Home, 700 West St., Laurel.
