1952-2025

Park City, Utah-Peggy Lynn Timmons Bergmann passed away peacefully on August 23, 2025, in her beloved home in Promontory, Park City, Utah. Peggy was born to J.S. Timmons and Marie Crump Timmons on March 7, 1952, in Graham, Texas. Her education began in Woodson, Texas. After high school, she attended Columbia College, Columbia, Missouri; and Texas Christian University, Fort Worth, Texas, for undergraduate and MBA degrees. "Go Frogs!"

Her business career began in Dallas, Texas, at M Bank. She met David Bergmann in Dallas and were married in 1979. Subsequently, they moved to California in 1983. In 1991, they returned to David's hometown, St. Louis, Missouri. Following David's death in 2004, Peggy moved to Park City, Utah in 2007, with their children, Katherine and John.

Peggy embraced her new state and life in Park City with gusto-enjoying the varied, enriching, and active seasonal activities of golf, tennis, and skiing. Peggy also continued and grew the Bergmann family's commitment to philanthropy. She remained a dedicated member of her Pi Beta Phi Sorority, making a positive impact in the Washington University St. Louis Chapter by helping in the re-construction and design of the Pi Phi's on-campus suite, and being installed in 2012 as one of only ten women in Pi Phi's national Mariane Reid Wild Society.

In the greater Park City community, Peggy has been recognized year after year for her support of the organizations that were closest to her heart: Ballet West (Ballet West Academy, Peggy Bergmann Campus), Egyptian Theater (Peggy Lynn Loft), Kimball Art Center (naming announcement 2026), National Ability Center (Peggy Bergmann Lobby at McGrath Mountain Center), and Sundance Film Festival (Community Supporter). She also established a family nonprofit in Park City with her daughter, Katherine, in 2022: Bergmann Equine, dba Equellness Center, which is committed to equine-assisted mental fitness and wellness.

Peggy is preceded in death by her father, J.S. Timmons; her mother, Marie Turner; her son, John David Bergmann; her brother-in-law, Rev. Stephen Bergmann; and her sister-in-law, Susan Bergmann Calhoun.

She is survived by her daughter, Katherine Bergmann; granddaughter, Brooklyn Marie Hughes; grandson, Kayden James Schloss; sister, Janette Caviness, and brother-in-law, Terry Caviness; nephews Trevor (Sarah) Caviness, Regan (Kelly) Caviness, Scott (Tammy) Calhoun, Brian (Jen) Calhoun, Rodney (Allison) Calhoun, and Michael (Tanya) Bergmann.

Another special appreciation to the hospice care team and nurses who were there for Peggy during her final weeks. And finally, a warm thank you to the NAC and Shiner, the faithful steed who was brought to Peggy's side outside her home to provide a final goodbye, days before her last trail ride.
