MANCHESTER, N.H.–Peggy Powell, who served as the first executive director of America’s Credit Union Museum, has passed away.
Ms. Powell served in the role for 15 years.
In a statement, the Museum said Powell’s tenure was “marked by unparalleled dedication and visionary leadership.”
Powell was involved in much of the initial fundraising and efforts to open the museum, which is located inside the home that served as the office of the country’s first credit union, St. Mary’s Bank. St. Mary’s Bank was chartered in 1909.
“Peggy played an instrumental role in the museum's development, guiding its evolution with passion and unwavering commitment. Her tireless efforts in preserving the rich history of credit unions have left an indelible mark on our institution and the community it serves,” the Museum said. “As we honor her remarkable legacy, we extend our deepest sympathies to Peggy's family and loved ones. Her enduring impact will forever resonate within the walls of the museum and beyond.”
