Peggy Marriott Obituary

Peggy Evon Marriott was born March 10, 1945 in Lamar, CO to Sam and Inez (Harp) Perkins. On April 27, 2010 Peggy passed away at Penrose Main due to complications with her courageous fight with Leukemia AML. Peggy attended school at May Valley grades 1st-8th, and then attended Lamar High School where she was also active in 4-H; she graduated in 1963. Peggy attended Clover Meadow Church of God, this was where she made her personal profession of faith to the Lord. In April 1964, Peggy was married to her life partner and best friend, Jerry D. Marriott in Lamar, CO. They moved from Lamar to Colorado Springs in 1965 and made a final move to Falcon in September of 1971, where they have lived in the same home for the past 38+ years. Peggy was very active in her community volunteering with the Women's Falcon Fire Department Auxiliary, Falcon Elementary School, High Way Baptist Church (later to be renamed Falcon Baptist Church), and her Women's Bible Study group. She liked spending her time reading, doing bible studies, spending time with friends and family. She also enjoyed her daily dose of exercise at Curves in Falcon. Peggy ran a day-care out of her home for 20 years where she became a surrogate mother to many of the children in the Falcon area, and each one was special to her. Since her retirement from day-care and her husband Jerry's retirement from IBEW Local #113 in 2005, they've spent all their time together, running errands, going to church, traveling, visiting friends and family members as much and as often as they could. Peggy faithfully attended the Falcon Baptist Church for many years where and Jerry made many wonderful friends in the church community and with Senior Saints. Peggy was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She had 3 children, Rodney her oldest and her twins, Dana and Daniel. She was preceded in death by her son Daniel in August 1974, her parents Inez in December 1986 and Sam in February 1988. Surviving is her husband, of 46 years Jerry of Falcon; her son Rodney, of Pueblo; daughter, Dana (Glenn Weeks) granddaughter, Ariel Marriott of Colorado Springs and step-grandson, Justin Weeks of New York. She is also survived by her siblings: Elsie Howland, Lamar; Lucille (Ken) Dawson, Granada; Keith (Susan) Perkins, Pueblo West; Patty (Mark) Rees, Lamar; Beverly (George) Hazel, Salida; Sandy (John) Howard, Canon City; Jackie (Jake) Mulberry, Canon City, along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Peggy and her family were grateful for the kind, courteous and gracious staff that took care of her at Penrose Main for the 5 weeks that she was there and the few short hours that she was in ICU. She quickly made friends with her kind and caring heart and who could resist her warm welcoming smile that would light up any room. She will be missed by so many; words cannot describe the loss that is felt. We will hold in our hearts her warm smile and her laughter. We are grateful for the time allowed to us, to be with such a wonderful and joyous spirit that was Peggy. A Celebration of Life for Peggy will be held Monday, May 3, 2010 at 10:30am, located at Falcon Baptist Church 11095 Eggar Drive Falcon, CO 80831 with Pastor Randall DeVille officiating. Graveside services will be held on Wednesday May 5, 2010 at 11am at Fairmount Cemetery in Lamar, CO with Pastor Don Stearns officiating. In lieu of flowers please make donations to the Penrose-St.Francis Cancer Center.

Grandmama, you were the only person I told practically everything to. My first kiss, oh gosh, I remember your face lit up like you were my age again. You asked so many questions to make sure that I was okay and also to make sure you didnt have to kick the boys butt. :) I loved going out to the house, sitting on your bed and talking for several hours about everything that was going on in school, with boys, and my friends. You made sense, even if I couldnt admit it then, it really helped. You were like my best firend that knew so much about alot of things we talked about. You were in my life for almost 18 years and i'm going to miss you so much. Graduations coming up and I know you'll be there, I just wish it was in person. I miss you and love you. <3

Growing up I never had a female that I could really call a girlfriend and thought they were non-existent until you came into my life in 1972. You were the BEST FRIEND I ever had.
We shared so many good times along with our fears and tears and secrets. Oh the stories I could tell and mostly all good. Such as the time we were going after mice to feed to Jimmy’s snakes and had a heck of a time keeping them in a box until we got home-we had stopped at my Mom’s and while inside one of those nasty little critters got out and we were trying to catch it-with your bare hands you were the lucky one to catch it and you immediately threw it to the ground after it bit you and you said “that damn thing bit me” and you never were one to use much bad language-my Mom and I both stood there bent over in laughter ! And how about the time our Saint Bernard (Bruza) heard a bolt of lighting and thunder as you were trying to get in the door and you grabbed ahold of her collar and down the basement stairs you both went-silly you-why did you not turn loose of her? All the trips up the hill and to bingo and shopping was always a joy. We had many many adventures in our thirty years of friendship and I shall always remember them. Our kids grew up thinking they were brothers & sisters even (anyway my boys & Dana). Ha We also enjoyed the many dances and card games we shared with our hubbies on occasion.
Things changed drastically between us after our move to Pueblo and I received your letter which broke my heart but I do understand you needed someone closer to you to do fun things with and all and I do not hold that against you. I loved you like a sister Peg and always will.
I shall cherish my memories of you!
Love TT

I can't remember when I didn't know Peggy. Even in these later yeaers when our schedules seemed to keep us apart, I knew that if I needed something that Peggy was just a phone call away. I knew that she would either come over or talk to me as long as I needed. I can't ever remember when Peggy wasn't smiling. I will miss her great wit and sense of humor. She had the most unique laugh. While I know that she is gone from our sight, she will always be in our hearts and minds. Our prayers go out to the family as they wait for their time to see their loved one again, and they will when we all meet in Heaven. Peggy was one of my stepping stones to the Lord. Peggy lived her testimony. Her love for the Lord shone through her, she lived her witness. Dear family please know that if you need ANYTHING all you have to do is call and I will be there, just like Peggy would for me. God Bless you all Love Darlene Wulf and family, Falcon, Co

I thought I heard Peggy's unique giggle at her service today. As Jerry said, she would be so surprised to realize she had so many friends. She is no longer in pain. Thank God for that.

Peggy will be greatly missed by everyone that had the great fortune to know her. God called her home to rest. Our Warmest Sympathies go out to Jerry, Dana, Ariel, and Rodney. I so enjoyed all the great emails she would forward to me. I loved when Jerry would bring her by for a visit. We could gab for hours and her sense of humor was fabulous. She was just one of those people who attracted you with their smile and wit. I could rarely just stop by because we would just start talking and poof an hour would go by. Each time I come over that old hill on Meridian I will think fondly of Peggy and know she walking with the Lord and watching over all she has touched.
