About

Her Story

Peggy had overcome many health related obstacles in her life. She often spoke of being on borrowed time since the age of 12, when her lung was removed in order to extend her life for the next 52 years. And again she was "saved" in 1992, when even the doctors said that she would need a miracle to survive. All if these miracles allowed her to raise two wonderful children, David (35) and Christina (26) whom she loved very much, into their adult lives. She watched as they each finished schooling and moved into their careers. She was able to attend David's wedding, to Elizabeth in 2006. And to watch as both of her children move to Minnesota. She also worked for many years for Sysco doing a job that she very much enjoyed. Along the path of life she made several different friends from many different places. After retirement she found her spiritual way through St. Ingnatius Loyola Cathedral in Palm Beach Gardens FL. With her church and friends she traveled to Bosna i Hercegovina and Dubrovnik which she spoke about in the years to come. Once her sister, Kathy, retried they began to fulfill their childhood dreams of living and traveling together. They stayed in Florida for the winter and went back to Michigan for the summers, making stops along the way in Tennessee, Texas, and Minnesota. As Peggy's health began to fail, Kathy was always by her side to help. Kathy would give updates on Peggy and called the children when she thought they needed to come. And we know that when she parted from this world, she was welcomed with open arms, from her mother and father, into the next world.

Memories

Peggy, the Fighter

Marilyn Olson (Aug 27, 2008)

I first knew Peggy because her daughter, Chrissie, was one of my students in middle school. At that time, I was taking groups of students and their parents to Europe over Spring Break. Peggy, Chrissie and Peggy's mother came on one of these trips and they also included a trip to visit their relatives in Scotland. What an adventure for this three-some!! Through the years, Peggy and I remained friends and I was always awed by her tenacity for life. She lived one day at a time and took each ailment in stride, always looking positively to the future. She was truly an inspiration to all who knew and loved her. Dear Peggy, may the Angels come out to lead you into Paradise and may you rest always in God's Eternal Peace. Love, Marilyn Olson

A day off from school ...

Chrissie Robinson (Aug 26, 2008)

It is so hard to pick just one memory of my mother. I wanted to pick one that captured her spirit, one that celebrated her life. And the more I thought, the more memories that came. I don't know if I will pick the best memory, but it is one that still makes me chuckle to this day. This happened when I was in middle school. Now I was, for the most part, a good kid, but there was one class that I always seemed to get into trouble in. Well, to try to "straighten me out" the vice princable called my mom down to the school and started to threaten suspension. (In retrospect I don't really think he intended to suspend me, he just wanted to scare me into acting right). Well most mom's would plea that their child not be suspended, but then my mom was not most mom's. She lit into that VP like there was no tomorrow, talking about what a way to punish a kid giving them a day off of school. And how my grandma was going to take me to the beach all day. Needless to say, by the end of the "conference" I was lucky that I only got 1 day off and not the rest of the year. The VP was so upset he broke his ballpoint pen writing out my suspension sheets! Now my mom was not mean, but I will always remember how fierce she could become if you messed with one of her kids!

So many cherished memories

Sherry Russo (Aug 26, 2008)

So many memories and so many years have past since our friendship began over 20 years ago when Peggy joined Sysco of South Florida. She was a caring and loving Mother to her two wonderful children David and Chrissie. Peggy cherished her sister Kathy as everyone knew they were BEST FRIENDS. They often talked about their hopes and dreams of seeing the country together in their motorhome.
Peggy was amazing how she could find the strength to make it through so many challanges she faced in her journey through life. I am grafeful for having Peggy for my friend and I will always cherish the good times we shared. I admired Peggy for her courageous fight for life and I know in her heart she really did not want to leave us. I close my eyes and I see your lovely smile and know you are at peace. Love Your Friend Forever Sherry
