Publish in a newspaper
Born in Reading, she was the daughter of Alice M. (Yoder) Epler, Hamburg; and the late Harold D. Epler. She was a member of Frieden's Church, Shartlesville. She graduated from Hamburg Area High School; and later received an associates degree from Allentown Business School. She worked for 40 years as part of the KMart family in Temple until it closed in 2016; and was currently the assistant manager at Salvation Army in Hamburg for the past 8 years. Peggy was a selfless person who was involved in various charities and had a passion for helping those in need. She was a Sunday school teacher, lifelong girl scout leader, 4H leader, and playground leader. She was proud of being a tour guide at Onyx Cave, if even only for 2 years. She was also a member of Eastern Star; and was deeply involved at her church.
She is survived by three daughters: Misty L. (Rutt) Fosdick, wife of Pamela J. Fosdick, Chesapeake, VA, Amy L. (Rutt) Bukowski, wife of Michael J., Hampton, VA, and A. Dawn Rutt, Norfolk, VA; and six grandchildren: Rowyn E. Elliott, Lillian M. Fosdick, Liam Hafer, Linda Woomer, Carter Woomer, and Emma Woomer.
