Besides her husband, Emil; Peggy was predeceased by her parents, George and Myrtle MacKinlay; and one sister, Georgina “Dewey” Waite. Peggy was born in Kelvington, Saskatchewan on June 9th, 1928. It was here that she was raised and educated. She obtained her teaching training in Saskatoon. After graduation Peggy began her teaching career in the Irvine area where she met and married Emil. They made their home on Emil’s farm where they raised their two sons. Her teaching career was shortly interrupted with the arrival of her boys. However, Peggy resumed teaching after the boys started school. For many years she taught in Irvine but relocated to Elkwater Hutterite Colony School, becoming its first teacher. It was only fitting that Peggy began her teaching career in a one room school and that it should conclude in a one room school. In the early 1980’s they retired to Medicine Hat. However, Peggy began her own business, Zany Zebra Fabrics which she operated for many years. Peggy loved teaching, sewing, gardening and visiting relatives and especially the success of her children. The funeral service will be held in the SAAMIS MEMORIAL FUNERAL CHAPEL, #1 Dunmore Road SE, on Tuesday, October 16th, 2012 at 1:30 p.m. with Gary W. Goran officiating.
