Beverly Pegg, 89, passed away peacefully on February 10, 2016 in Spokane.
She was born on February 7, 1927 to Jesse and Marie Dietrich, joining her sister, Lois, on the family farm in Rathdrum, Idaho.
Because she was a preemie when she was born, Beverly loved to tell the story of how her parents were told she would never live past infancy, but “I proved them wrong!”
And she did, living to marry Robert L. Pegg on August 30, 1946 in Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho; and together they owned and managed the State Motel there.
They raised their two sons, Robert L. Pegg, Jr. and John D. Pegg, there.
Retirement saw them settle into a home in Spokane Valley.
Beverly’s husband, sister, and oldest son preceded her in death.
She is survived by her son, John and his wife, Mary; granddaughters, Ashley Barrett (Ryan) and Marisa Templin (Kevin); and grandsons, Robert L. Pegg III (Nicole), Derek Pegg (Cassie), and Kevin Pegg.
She was also fortunate to have five great-grandchildren: Ella Pegg, Ben Barrett, Jack Pegg, Liliana Pegg, and Aiden Templin.
A Family Celebration of her Life will be held at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in her name to Hospice of Spokane.
Yates Funeral Home has been entrusted with the care of final arrangements.
