Rozella Margaret Louise Wigen (Peggy) went to be with her Lord on Monday, June 22 in McAllen, Texas. She was surrounded by her nephew Roy Wigen and his wife Monica.

Peggy was born in Ayrshire, Iowa on June 7, 1927 to parents Marlis and Louis Wigen. Peggy never married nor had children but she showed tender motherly love to every child she knew.

Peggy was the one who always had a camera and was busy taking pictures!

She enjoyed teaching Sunday school as well as doing mission work. Several years ago, Peggy had a stroke but was able to have her own apartment in assisted living faculty in Texas where she wanted to be as independent as possible. In recent years, she resided with her nephew Roy and his wife Monica.
