Peggy Stack Obituary

Peggy Joyce Stack Peggy Stack, 83, passed away with family by her side on July 29, 2020 in Puyallup, WA. She is survived by her children Kay, Sherry and Verne; grandchildren Allen, Holli and Ryan; and great-grandchild Trevor. She was preceded in death by her husband Del and her brother Bob. Peggy was born March 9, 1937 in Watonga, OK, attended Yakima High School (where she met Del) and lived and worked in the Puget Sound area since 1955. Her first job was a secretary at Boeing, and she retired as office manager of WSU Cooperative Extension in Tacoma. Over the years, Peggy enjoyed sewing, stitchery, one-stroke painting on ceramics (a grand prize at the Puyallup Fair), cooking and conversation (she was the total stranger who would start up a conversation with you while you waited in line at the grocery store). Her family and friends miss her dearly. At her request, a private memorial will be held at a later date.

I met Peggy in 1982 when I was hired to be a program aid for Pierce County 4-H. She was the 4-H secretary (when that was a PC job title). Her caring nature came through, she picked up quickly that I am a dyslexic and took me under wing as a mentor and editor. A year or so later the great they put a computer on my desk and a memo saying I no longer had secretarial help. Peggy looked over and said "don't worry Sam I got you.

Peggy had a great sense of humor. One morning we were sitting in a rather tense staff meeting. Lillian our 4-H agent had been going on for while about how our enrollment numbers were down and what were we going do about it. Finley Peggy spoke up and said "I can take care of that just give me the [hone book and I will enroll them all. The tension left the room. We all have lost a great person.
