(Mundy) Thompson, Peggy lived a life full of love, kindness, and compassion. On August 10, 1956, she married the love of her life, William \u201cBill\u201d Peterson, with whom she shared nearly 70 wonderful years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peggy was a proud graduate of Marion High School. She began her career as a telephone operator at Indiana Bell, later working as a sales associate at Rust Craft Cards and Hallmark, where her love for greeting cards truly shined. She also spent many years at Elder-Beerman, forming lasting friendships and mentoring the young women she worked alongside. A devoted member of both Central Christian Church and First Christian Church, Peggy\u2019s faith and commitment to her community were at the heart of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peggy had a passion for travel, especially her cherished trips to Mississippi to visit her brother and his family. Known for her warm heart and social spirit, she never met a stranger and was always ready to lend a helping hand. Her kindness, generosity, and ability to see the good in everyone made her beloved by all who knew her. She had a special love for animals and was a supporter of their welfare. &nbsp;Peggy also loved to have family dinners for every occasion, and she spent her free time going to her grandkids\u2019 sporting and school events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peggy and her sister, Bobbie, were frequently mistaken for twins, thanks to their close bond they shared. Whether browsing stores on countless shopping trips or organizing the church rummage sale--which they ran together for over a decade--they were rarely seen apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She is survived by her husband, William \u201cBill\u201d Peterson of Marion; sons, William (Becky) Peterson of Converse and Richard \u201cRick\u201d Peterson of Marion; daughter, Kimberly \u201cKim\u201d (Mike) Ziner of Wabash; grandchildren, Jason Peterson, Jeremy (Shevonne) Peterson, Ryan (Bethany) Peterson, Corey (Lindsey) Cook, and Melissa Rolph; great-grandchildren, Avanly, Kierstin, Brailyn, Bentley, Rory, Eli, Carson, Truett, Daxxton, Annaleigh, Wells, and Willow; step-grandchildren, Michael (Nicole) Ziner and Erika Ziner; step-great-grandchildren, Claire and Mikey; brother, Richard (Frances) Thompson of Mississippi; brother-in-law, James Peterson of Marion; many beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends with whom she shared a special bond; and her beloved cats, Precious and Mama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Peggy was preceded in death by her parents and her sister, Roberta \"Bobbie\" Sue Peterson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visitation will be held from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon on Friday, August 22, 2025, at Needham-Storey-Wampner Funeral &amp; Cremation Service, North Chapel, 1341 N. Baldwin Ave., Marion, IN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A celebration of Peggy\u2019s life will begin at 12:00 noon, officiated by Rev. Haley Asberry. Burial will take place at Gardens of Memory in Marion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In honor of Peggy's love for animals, memorial contributions may be made to the Marion-Grant County Humane Society, P.O. Box 1921, Marion, IN 46952.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online condolences and memories may be shared at www.nswcares.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To send flowers to the family of Barbara L. \"Peggy\" Peterson, please&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/needhamstoreywampner-north-chapel.tributestore.com\/?oId=43981296&amp;tag=&amp;source=tco_description&amp;_cdx=GA1.1.1050496179.1738002651:GS2.1.s1755273537$o85$g1$t1755273969$j54$l0$h0&amp;tcouuid=441f9409-e375-4244-bca7-9d592a724fcf&amp;mtph=1\">visit our floral store.<\/a><\/p>\n\r\n<script  src=\"https:\/\/\/pagead\/js\/?client=0531879237494766\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"0531879237494766\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"2870348528\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     ().push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Barbara L. &#8220;Peggy&#8221; Peterson, 88, of Marion, Indiana, passed away peacefully at 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at Rolling Meadows Health &amp; Rehabilitation Center in LaFontaine.
