Peggy Chesley Obituary
Peggy passed away March 30, 2025 after a long struggle with her health. Peggy was born June 1, 1953 in Toolee, Utah to John and Colleen Saxton. At the age of 10 her family moved to American Fork, Utah. After graduating high school Peggy went to Snow College and then joined the US Army. After having her children Peggy started working for Alpine School District in nutrition services. This gave her time to enjoy being a band mom for the American Fork Marching Band. After retirement Peggy’s favorite thing was to spend time with her grandchildren.
Peggy is survived by her two children, nine grandchildren, two brothers and her sister.
