Margaret “Meg” Peterson, age 65, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family. She was a devoted mother of four, whose life was defined by her deep love for her children and family.

She was known for her quick wit, warm sense of humor, and an ability to find the good in every situation. Even during life’s challenges, she met each day with optimism, grace, and a smile that put others at ease.
