Peggy Newman was born in Texas in 1929. She led a long and happy life and passed away peacefully in her sleep after a very short illness on May 12, 2012. She left behind he beloved husband, Roy, and her two children Dwight

Newman of Sammamish and Diane Thompson of Bellevue. Her son-n-law John and two grandchildren Cyndi and Steven Thompson. Daughter-n-law, Debbie, and Dwight’s two sons Cory and Ryan Newman. Two step grandchildren William Kinson and Kimberly Jones and their spouses. One great grandson Lance Lebron Jones. Peggy has many relatives in Texas though the Seattle area has been her home over 40 years. She will be remembered for her beautiful smile, a lady who was kind, gracious as well as extremely generous and loving to all. She graduated from Sonoma State University the same year Dwight did. She taught school at Holy Names Academy in Seattle for 20 years prior to moving to Vashon Island. She volunteered many years at “Granny’s Attic” on Vashon and loved her days working and visiting with all her “Granny Friends”. Peggy and Roy were very active in the “Northwest Mustang Club” an “Renegade Mustang Club”. They drove cross country to Charlotte, North Carolina for the 35th anniversary of the Mustang; and five years later followed it up for the 40th to Memphis, Tennessee.
