Peggy Lue Luney, 80, of Richland, Washington, passed away Saturday, December 17, 2005 at Tri-Cities Chaplaincy Hospice House in Kennewick, Washington.

Peggy was born December 1, 1925 to Roy and Meta Love in Douglas County, Missouri.

Peggy started her career in nursing as a student-nurse in World War II where she met her future husband of over sixty years, Victor Luney. Victor was a purple heart recipient and Japanese prisoner-of-war. Before her retirement in 1987, Peggy was a medical technician who made heart valves for Shilley Laboratories.

Peggy’s one true joy was loving and caring for her family and friends.

She is loved by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and all who knew her. She will always be in our hearts and minds.
