She attended Alamo Heights Schools and graduated from the University of Texas, where she was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha Sorority.

In 1977, she married the love of her life, William Frederick "T. Willy" Trieschmann, who passed away in 2015.

She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother, known as "Tita" to her grandchildren. She loved her time in Port Aransas and traveled the world collecting oceans.

She was also a lifetime lover of the arts - museums, symphonies, Broadway musicals, the opera, and poetry, which she loved to write herself. Here is an excerpt from a poem she wrote for T. Willy:

"I'm thankful for the love and the life I live, with all the joys that life can give;
And I find that I want life to go on and on until all of life's "summer" has gone,
But not without you. It's true."

The family would like to thank all the caregivers that have looked after the Trieschmann's for the last five years, especially Laura Gomez.

A Celebration of Peggy's Life was held on Sunday, January 22, 2017 at 4:00pm at, The Argyle Club, 934 Patterson Avenue.

In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be made to her beloved Charity Ball Association of San Antonio whose address is P.O. Box 6078, San Antonio, Texas, 78209.
