Obituary of Peggy Margaret Plumlee

Peggy (Margaret) Plumlee passed away on February 19, 2016 after a brief illness. She was born on November 5, 1926 in Magnetic Springs, Ohio. She spent most of her youth in Ohio but moved to Arizona due to her mother's illness. The west suited Peggy and her family well. Peggy loved her first hometown of Flagstaff. Peggy lived for a brief time in Riverside, California during World War II where her father was a teacher. During that time, she met a returning marine, Lynn Folger, while attending Riverside Community College. They met in April; he proposed in June and they were married in September at the Grand Canyon. Peggy received her degree at the University of Arizona in Education. After teaching for a couple of years, she opted to put her education to good use by being an amazing mother; going to little league games, being a cub scout den mother and president of the mothers' club for her son's fraternity. Other important activities of Peggy's life included church and P.E.O. These two organizations were important throughout her life and a great source of friendship, purpose and happiness. Peggy's husband, Lynn, died at an early age from illness in 1978. They had three sons: Greg, Mark and Doug. Peggy's love of the Casas Adobes Congregational Church resulted in a special gift in 1981. She met the new minister, The Rev. Ray Plumlee. They fell in love and were married February 13, 1982. Their time together was a blessing to them and their families until his death on February 14, 2015. Peggy is survived by her three sons, Greg (wife Meredith), Mark (wife Anne) and Doug (wife Tricia). She was also blessed with 14 grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. A Memorial Service and a celebration of Peggy's life will be held at Casas Adobes Congregational Church, UCC on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Church in her honor.
