For a time she welcomed her nieces Debbie Doland, Michelle Seesee, Denise Steelman and Monique Kaas into her home and loved them like her own.
She is proceeded in death by her parents Harry & Edna Buchanan, sisters Pat Hunt, Madith Halliday, JoAnn Johnson and Connie Alder.
In 1966 Pete and Peggy moved from Boise, ID to Othello, Washington and then 10 years later they moved to Connell, Washington where they continued farming and raising their family.
They then moved to Pasco, Washington in 2008, where they enjoyed their retirement.
She committed her life to God at a young age. She was a woman of great faith and fully persuaded in her lifetime of better things that lie ahead, she lived her life with an eternal purpose.
She was a loving and caring person who left a lasting impression on all who knew her. A key figure in her family, she brought people together with her love and care for those around her. Her home became the gathering place where many memories were made. She loved people and opened her home to many throughout the years.
She will be dearly missed!
In Lieu of flowers please take a moment to sign our guestbook and share a memory of Peggy
Grandma Peggy was the sweetest person I have ever know. When I flew over to the states for the first time on my own, I had never known her, but she remembered me as a baby. Immediately, she told me I must call her Grandma Peggy, although the way we are related is a lot more complicated than that. Her sweet demeanour and funny attitude and the way she always asked after my family and remembered my mum, even in her later years, I will always remember. Peggy truly was one of a kind and the best third grandmother I could ask for. Rest in Peace đź–¤
Listened to the service today…. I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Peggy (just her daughter Kim), so I appreciated learning a little about her life–especially about her trust and faith in God and her love and care for others.
I never knew aunt Peggy as well as I would’ve liked because of all the miles separating us but it’s always been a encouragement to me to know that she and uncle Morris were faithfully filling there place in the kingdom like we heard at the service giving there all I’m also very thankful for all the encouragement that uncle Morris has given me since the passing of my dad! Love Clint and Michele Schwartz
We will miss you our Dear Aunt Peggy!
Especially playing Take 2 and seeing all the beautiful scarfs she used to wear. Lots of love and thoughts for you Uncle Pete!
Peggy and I became special friends before we married brothers. We both worked in Boise as young girls meeting often for lunch or coffee break. I have many special memories through the years Shared a room in the hospital when two of our children were born, and many more thru the years. I will miss my dear friend, but so thankful for the faith she had through the yrs that never wavered. She was always a source auntie to our girls. Darlene
All my Condolences to the Peterson Family !
How we miss our Peggy! She was a good friend, loving sister in the faith and a mother to many of us. Pete and Girls thank you for sharing her with so many of us. Surely hope in spite of your loss, the reality of Comfort from above is yours.
We got to know Pete and Peggy when our son married their youngest daughter, Tanya and from the start enjoyed a warm and friendly relationship. We enjoyed staying with them especially when they lived in Connell and we were introduced to American small town living which we found fascinating! We always admired the way Peggy welcomed us and others into her home, especially our son Matthew. She was gracious and kind and we are glad we got to know her. Our thoughts and love are with Pete and all of the family in their sad loss.
Love, John and Judith
Want to send my thoughts and love to everyone. Am so sorry to not be able to attend but will sure be thinking of you all and looking forward to connecting in the future as it works out. There was only one Aunt Peggy! She was fun, thoughtful, loving, faithful, inspiring, generous, etc. Most of all, though, I’m thankful she lived for the only thing that matters now! She will be missed!
Memories of Peggy go back as far as I can recall in childhood, she was a very dear, always positive lady that I always look forward to seeing again. Peggy was such a gracious lady, always had a smile to share, and she was always interested to know what had happened in your life since the last time she’d seen you.
Peggy’s love for God was never questioned, she lived a life that made that clear. She will always be an encouragement to me as I think of her in the future, she’ll never be forgotten.
Sending all my love to the family, wishing I could be with you Saturday, will be with you in heart.
Aunt Peg was my friend and counselor. I remember so fondly her listening ear and all the right words at the right time spoken with a calm spirit.
I am o will be eternally grateful for the one who gave her all the answers.
I have in my heart very, very special memores.
Dear family,
We are sorry that we cannot attend the service for Peggy due to conflicting events.
All through many years, we have valued her friendship. You all would remember those yeaars around Connell, meeting together, working together, growing up together. Much love was shown from Peggy’s life as such an enduring faithful friend. Not only was she faithful to us, she was faithful to the God of Heaven. She can now rejoice with the cloud of witnesses for all eternity. We also know there is a sense of loss to you all. We lend you our sympathy and love,
Dear Pete and family,
I’m sorry to hear of Peggy’s passing, but know that God gives abundant comfort and peace to His own to help during the loss of a loved one. Will be remembering you folks in the secret place.
“1000 pieces of bacon!” I will always love and cherish all the memories I had with you Grandma!
Mothers are so hard to lose.
Nice you could share precious fellowship as well. Sorry for your loss.
Hugs to you and your family.
