Peggy Eileen Hopp


Loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Peggy Eileen Hopp (nee Jackson), 72, passed away peacefully with her family by her side on August 24, 2018 in Roseville, California after a brief illness. She is survived by her husband of more than 50 years, Mark Hopp of Auburn; her children, Richard Hopp of San Carlos; Marcie Hopp of Rocklin; grandchildren McKayla Hopp and Riley Hopp of Rocklin; and her beloved sisters, Patsy Coulson (Jim), Paula Casaretto (Mark) and Pamela Jackson, as well as many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Berna Jackson, her in-laws Jack and Marilyn Hopp and brother- in-law John Hopp.
Peggy met Mark in the 1960's, where they both worked at Wadsworth Publishing Co. in Belmont, California. They married shortly after Mark was drafted into the army and moved to Fort Carson, Colorado. After he was discharged, they moved back to California and raised their two children in the Bay Area. Peggy returned to Wadsworth Publishing Company, where she had much success in the initial launch of their telemarketing department, eventually turning it into a multimillion dollar operation.
Peggy possessed a friendly, winning personality with a sharp wit that drew everyone to her. She was once referred to as "everybody's friend," and indeed she was. She traveled occasionally for work, and as a result, made lifelong friends nationwide. She had hundreds of friends, co-workers and acquaintances and was a loving second mother to many.
In the mid-90's, they moved to Auburn, California and Peggy worked for Chen's Books and eventually retired from Marie Callenders Restaurant. She loved helping raise her grandchildren and was an avid reader who loved doing crosswords and arts & crafts. She enjoyed spending time with her numerous friends and relatives. She is dearly loved, and will be missed by all.
A Celebration of Life will be held for Peggy on Sept. 22, 2018 in Redwood City, California
