CARLSON (MCCLAIN), PEGGY ANN

Peggy Ann Carlson (McClain, Romijn), 83, from Toledo, Ohio passed away July 27th, 2022. Born March 16th, 1939, in Lima, Ohio to Harold Franklin McClain and Lucy Olive Dean. The oldest of three beloved siblings, Dallas, Allen, and Linda, Peggy was a caring and loyal sister. She married John Edward Romijn May 6th, 1958, in Salt Lake City, Utah and had two sons, John Edward Romijn Jr. (Young Mi) from Las Vegas, Nevada and Mark Jeffrey Romijn (Marie) from Toledo, Ohio. She moved to Toledo in the 1960s and raised her two sons as a hard-working, single mother. She had a long and rewarding 50-year career with the accounting firm Helvey, Smith, Malak & Williams, loving the interactions she had with all the firm's clients. She loved her independence, country music and family vacations and was an avid fan of Jeopardy. Peggy was a favorite customer at many Toledo-area restaurants and loved dining out with her family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents; and her sister, Linda Beck. She is survived by her brothers, sons, and five grandchildren, Michael Romijn (Becky), Christina Prado (Andres), Amanda Romijn (Christopher), Ashley Drake (Benjamin), and TJ. She has 9 great grandchildren.

As per her request, our family will forgo a memorial service. If you had the privilege to have known her, you would understand she would not have wanted anyone to fuss over her especially without her own twist on her signature hair and makeup. Her family is forever grateful for her unconditional love and support and inspired by her generosity to so many. We will carry her memory in our hearts. Until we meet again, Mother.
