Peg was the beloved wife of the late Anton Motz; loving sister of the late Anna Marie (Edward) Tansey and the late Mabel (William) Broderick.
She is survived by her nieces and nephews Michael (Fabiola) Broderick, Daniel (Dawn) Broderick, Margaret (Michael) Pote, Patricia (Adam) Hibben, and Catherine Broderick; her great-nieces and nephews Kevin (Tiffany), Caroline, Kathleen, Bryan, Andrew, Lindsey, Maggie, Lilly, Devin (Ashley), Celia, and Anna; and her great-great-nieces and nephews Kinsley, Kellin, Derek, Declan, and Dawson. Peg is also survived by her stepchildren Linda Motz, Lisa (Bruce Bruemmer) Motz, Stephanie (Michael Fisher) Motz, Eric Motz, and John (Martha) Motz; and step-grandchildren Sarah and Nathan Bruemmer, and Elena Fisher.
A former Sister of Charity of the Blessed Virgin, Peg devoted her life to teaching. First in Catholic schools in Iowa, New York, and Illinois, and later for more than 25 years as a first-grade teacher at Miller School in Westmont. She will be remembered for her faith, kindness, wit, and steady love of family, and for the generations of children whose lives she shaped through education.
