On the evening of Sunday, January 21, 2018 Margaret "Peggie" Annabelle Pusztay passed away at the East Kootenay Regional Hospital at the age of 87 1/2 years.

Peggie was born in Edmonton, Alberta on May 10, 1930, the eldest daughter of three girls. She married her beloved husband Emmery Pusztay on September 24, 1952 and they were blessed with four children. Peggie was a wonderfully devoted mother and Granni. She was loved dearly by all of us. She had a magnetism about her that drew people to her, both young and old. Her gift was loving and accepting people as they were and they in turn loved her back. Her legacy is an inspiration to us all and it lives on in our family. Peggie loved opera and theatre and truly enjoyed playing the piano. She had many other hobbies she loved including cards, scrabble, crib, crossword puzzles, embroidery and knitting.

Left to mourn her passing are her children; Chris (Daysi), Maggie (Rob) and Clair (George). She also leaves her much loved grandchildren; Clair (Josh), Vanessa (Justin), Ellen, Cesar (Gaby), Jeff , Britt and her great grandchildren; Ceci and Ariel.

Peggie was predeceased by her son, Jim; her husband Emmery; her twin sisters Ailene and Eilene as well as her special cousin, Freddy. Peggie is survived by her brother-in-law Ed and numerous nieces and nephews throughout the world. She also leaves behind her adopted grandchildren; Dartanion, Phiefer, Rumour, Talon and Jayson.

A public viewing will be held on Thursday, January 25, 2018 at Mark Memorial Funeral Home from 1:00 to 3:00 pm. A Celebration of Peggie's Life will be announced at a later date.
