Margaret “Peg” Marston, a homemaker and community volunteer who carried on her pioneering family’s passion for the history and natural beauty of San Diego, died April 15, two weeks after turning 100.
She was the widow of Hamilton Marston, who like his father and grandfather before him ran the family’s self-named department store downtown and became a tenacious supporter of Balboa Park and of environmentally sensitive land development.
“Marston is a name that carries historic weight in San Diego, right up there with Scripps and Spreckels and Horton,” said Bill Lawrence, executive director of the San Diego History Center. “Peg was an incredible steward of the Marston name.”
