Margaret Remington Remington Williams

Margaret "Peg" Remington Voges Williams of Paso Robles, California went to her heavenly

home on Friday, October 24,2014. She was 92 years young.

Peg was born in August, 1922, to Dr. Elmer James Remington and Viola McKinnis in

Burlington, Colorado. Having lost her mother at age 11 and father at 14, she and her sister,

Mary Helen, moved to Tekamah, Nebraska, raised by relatives. That experience helped her

grow up fast, independent, and full of determination to appreciate what life had to offer.

Peg attended Cottey College in Nevada, Missouri and the University of Nebraska School of

Nursing at Omaha, NE. After receiving her degree, she decided she really "didn't handle

the sight of blood too well" and looked for another career. She took a bus to California and

when World War \I broke out, was proud to serve her country at Lockheed Aircraft as "Rosy

the Rivetter", where she met and married Emil C. Voges. She and Emil raised four unique

children. Peg loved to read and continued her education. At age 40 she obtained her

Master's Degree at UCLA in Art History and re-entered the work force.

Peg's love of God was first in her life. She was active in the Lutheran Women's League and

played the organ and piano for church for decades. Peg played multiple musical

instruments, taught herself to weave on the loom, crocheted, operated a knitting shop with

her sister, and processed, developed, and mounted her own film. She also designed and

fired copper enamel jewelry and ran the office for her husband's tile business.

In 1969, Peg moved to San Luis Obispo and started the Slide Library for the School of

Architecture at Cal Poly. While working there, she met her future husband, Robert Estes

Williams, who taught civil engineering part-time, and owned his full-time Civil Engineering

and Soils Laboratory companies. They married in 1978, and after retiring near Lake

Nacimiento, they enjoyed boating, fishing, and traveling cross-country in their 5th wheel RV,

including Alaska and Nova Scotia. After Bob's death in 1997, Peg moved to Paso Robles to

be closer to family.

Peg is survived by her sister Mary Helen Kellim; four children, daughter Jacqueline

(Patrick), son Emil 'Jim' Voges, daughter Pam Voges Ruggles (Larry), and daughter

Rebecca Voges Henry; step-children Janine, Diane Jones (deceased) (Monte), and

Annette, grandchildren Christopher (Drew), Sierra Lynn, Sierra Danielle, Ryan and Tierra,

great-grandchildren Elijah and Lyric and numerous nieces and nephews. She was

preceded in death by husbands Emil Voges and Bob Williams, and grandson Russell

James Smith-Norris.

A memorial service will be held Thursday, October 30, 2014 at 1 :00 pm at Covenant

Presbyterian Church, 1450 Golden Hill Rd., Paso Robles, CA 93446, Rev. Dan Katches

officiating.
