Peggy Ann Gigax

She was an angel among us, a teacher whose lessons reached far beyond the classroom. Her wisdom was matched only by the compassion she poured into others, shaping lives with patience, encouragement, and unwavering belief in the goodness of people.

Yet she was no saint in the distant sense – she was beautifully human. Her stubbornness was part of her strength, a reflection of her fierce convictions and her determination to stand for what mattered. That same spirit made her a pillar of resilience for her family and community.

As a mother, she cherished her two sons, Joseph and William, with boundless pride and unwavering love, nurturing them with both tenderness and strength. She was an adoring wife, whose love for her husband was a true passion and partnership built on devotion, joy and chaos in the most loving way.

Her life was a tapestry of kindness, courage, and generosity. She gave of herself endlessly, and anyone who knew her carries the imprint of her love. Though her passing leaves an immeasurable void, her legacy shines on in the countless lives she touched, the lessons she taught, and the love she gave without limit.

She was a teacher, sister, aunt, mother, wife, grandmother, friend and a beacon of light. Her memory will forever remind us that true greatness lies not in accolades, but in the love we give and the lives we transform.

May we honor her by living as she did, with compassion, conviction, and radiant generosity.
