McCay’s longtime co-star, Deidre Hall, confirmed the news of her death. Taking to Facebook, on Tuesday, Hall wrote: “Our dearest Peggy McCay has left us. 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!”
