Peggy Barton

Mrs. Barton was my all time favorite elementary school teacher. I had her for the 4th grade in around 1988/'89 at Whittier Elementary School in WVC. She was an incredible motivator to me at such a young age and always found ways to make my young mind excel. I am now in my 40's and have thought about her often and the impact she had on me in my young life to be a successful man.

I am sorry to just learn of Peggy´s passing. I grew up in her neighborhood and I thought she was the coolest mom ever!!! So friendly and fun and gorgeous. Always very kind to me, including me in swimming at the Fort Douglas, going out for treats while doing errands! She was a lovely mother and a lovely neighbor. I was sad to learn from this obit that Mark passed years earlier! Also a fun friend, I remember playing Berlin Wall with him. A wonderful family. My love to Sydney and Drew! Rest In...

I served with Peggy for many years at the Joseph Smith Memorial Bldg. We felt that we were kindred spirits and had a strong connection and love for one another immediately!! I will miss her, she was quite a lady!! My sympathy to her family, I know she adored each one if you!!

I never had Peggy as a teacher, but I remember her well. Everyone wanted her as their teacher! One thing I will never forget was her request to our Elementary school principal to play "When The Children Cry" by White Lion over the speakers, for all of the students to hear. It was a profound song and a testament to her love for the Youth she taught and came into contact with. This was in the 1980's. I thank her for that special moment. May the Lord bless and comfort her family. Thank you for...

I feel so blessed to have served with Peggy at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building for several years. My husband and I loved visiting with her. She was always dressed stylishly with a beautiful smile and welcoming spirit. She will greatly missed. Love and peace to her dear family!

I visited Peggy every month for many years. She became a good friend. I loved everything about her. I especially loved hearing about her family and her family history. There is no one like Peggy. She dearly loved her family. I pray her family will have peace and comfort at this time. Liz Read
