Margaret Lee Sovia Kopacz, known as Peg, passed away peacefully on March 22, 2026, in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. Born on May 25, 1941, in Detroit, Michigan, she lived a full life of 84 years.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald S. Kopacz; her sister, Becky Sovia, and her husband, Luey "Cruiser" Midgett; and her parents, Jimmy Walter Sovia and Margaret Mcclusky Ronald Sovia.

Peg is survived by her sister, Pamela Anne Schuler and her husband Nobel, as well as several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, and cousins, all of whom cherished her dearly.

A private family service will be held at a later date to honor Peg's memory and celebrate her life.
