Days of Our Lives matriarch Peggy McCay dies at 90

“Our dearest Peggy McCay has left us,” McCay's longtime co-star Deidre Hall wrote on Facebook. “She was a friend, an activist and a real scrapper! I remember meeting her at the bedside of a dear, very ill friend. I backed her up as she ferociously took on doctors and nurses to make sure he had the very best care. She fought that hard for all her causes. Passionate and tireless. And how she loved being Caroline!”
