Peggy Odam "Mama Peggy" Memorial Fund
This memorial fund was officially set up in honor and memory of Peggy Odam, “Mama Peggy.” Mama Peggy was the registrar for the course beginning in 2011 and continued to be involved each year, even in the midst of her battle with cancer. Peggy loved music, especially Anglican Choral music, and was committed to the education of young choristers to the tradition. She was extremely enthusiastic about the course, from being the registrar, Safe Church Officer, Administrator, bus driver and our anonymous donor each year. Peggy gave of herself totally to the girls and the course. If not for the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, she was determined to stay in the dorm with everyone. She did not want to miss a minute of the fellowship and music making. Her generous nature allowed for Organ Scholars, clinician travel, scholarships for girls and her favorite part of the week, the Welcome Dinner, Sunday evening prior to the opening of the course on Monday. Peggy was always just eager to make the course the very best it could be. Each year she contributed to the areas that she felt were most needed. Peggy will continue to be a vital part of the course going forward.
