Peggy Standridge Obituary

Peggy Standridge passed away Saturday, June 11 after a valiant 2 ½ year battle with cancer. She was born Peggy Lynn Hadley June 17, 1949 in Long Beach, California. Raised in Gillette, Wyoming until her family moved to Arizona in 1963, Peggy graduated from Casa Grande Union High School then attended NAU and ASU. A wonderful mother, a matchless friend and a wife full of patience and love, she had an endless capacity to find the positives in people. She was a person of great faith whose only prejudice was against those who do harm against the weak or helpless, and she always thought of putting others before herself. She leaves behind her husband Richard E. Standridge, M.D. of Chandler; her two sons Scott Standridge of Tempe and David Standridge of Chandler; her three daughters Megan Romero of Birmingham, Alabama, Erin Schmitz of Chandler and Lexi Standridge of Chandler; two grandchildren; brother Richard Hadley of Eugene, OR, sister Betsy Everett of Albuquerque, NM, parents: Frank & Jeanne Hadley of Tucson, AZ and a huge number of people who have loved her and have been loved by her. God has truly added another saint to heaven.

I have only met Peggy a few times and everytime I've had a chance to talk to her she was so sincere with me, she was so real. She made you feel as if we were long time friends. From what I could observe she was a strong women full of love,

compassion and ambition that has amazed and inspired me. These traits she had left behind will live in her beloved children and husband. Peggy will be missed very dearly. May Peggy Rest in Peace. God Bless.

There are no words that seem adequate to describe what an lovely woman Peggy was. I was always amazed at the way Peggy could light up a room simply by being there. She was one of those rare people that made everyone feel special just by being around her. My deepest sympathies go out to the entire Standridge family.

To the family of an amazing women, Peggy Standridge. Please know that I am so sorry for the loss of your wife, mother, daughter, sister, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend. Peggy holds a very special place in very many peoples hearts. Happily, I will always hold a peice of Peggy as she honored me by allowing my family and I to love and care for her beloved Lady Gwenavere. The last opportunity that I had to speak, kiss and hold Peggy, she gave me a wonderful compliment of which I will never forget. She told me that she was happy that I was Gwen's mommy now. What a women I thought to myself, as tears were running down my face knowing how greatly I will miss her and every wonderful thing and way about her.

Knowing Peggy was very special. She was a angel on earth that always had a kind word, smile, and hug for all. I am so fortunate to have known her. I am confident that she is in a great place and has a great journey ahead of her to act as a guardian angel for God.

Peggy was the person with all the goodness that so many of us admired, loved, and wanted to be like in her. She always made me and others feel like we were her old friends. I want to remember her as that old friend. Such a very special person will be missed by everone who knew her.

It was my pleasure and privilege to know Peggy. When she came into the office to help out when needed she worked right alongside of the rest of us. She shared herself willingly and was indeed a friend to all who met her. It was a honor to have a way to help her family fight the horrible disease that robbed them of a true angel in our midst. I hope that cancer in all its forms will become extinct in our lifetime. May the contributions of us that knew and loved Peggy bring some comfort to her family. Again, it was a privilege to have known this women of such gentle strength.

Peggy was always very kind to me. When we would talk I could tell she truly cared. One particular time I was traveling with her and Rick (I had only flown a few times before), Peggy made me feel like I wasn't alone. Never have I met someone who was so kind and compassionate. She has impacted my life in a positive way and I will miss her. God Bless.

I was not afforded the opportunity to get to know Mrs. Standridge but the few times I was in her company she proved to be an extraordinary woman. Her faith seemed unwavering & certain. Life is so precious & so short. I pray for the Standridge family that they may find comfort in the arms of Christ. May we celebrate her life in memories.

God bless you all.

Many of us who work for Dr. Standridge have had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Peggy Standridge. Peggy was one of the most memorable people I have ever met in my life. Peggy was a loving and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister and friend. Even though I only got to see Peggy when she would visit the office or at social functions she always made me feel like I was someone that was her friend and I know many here at eos felt the same way. During her fight with cancer Peggy demonstrated strength, bravery and beauty at all times. I have a thought in my mind that keeps running over and over; Peggy was an angel on earth, and is now one of the brightest angels in heaven. I know she is looking down on her family and friends and guiding them and will be for the rest of their lives.
