Mrs. Peggy Marie Steil, 91, went to be with the Lord on Saturday, April 14, 2018.  Peggy was born March 21, 1927 in San Diego, CA to Theordore Michael and Joye Marie Greenwalt.  Around the age of 1 year, she was diagnosed with Polio (Poliomyelitis).  Through physical therapy, she was able to overcome the effects of the disease and lived a mostly normal life.  “Post-Polio-Syndrome” returned in the later years of her life.  Peggy was raised in San Diego, but spent part of her youth in Fort Worth, Texas.  She married the “love of her life,” James Joseph Steil, on April 13, 1957.  They raised their five children while traveling the United States, then to Taiwan and Italy, for his 32-year career in the U. S. Navy.  Upon Commander Steil’s retirement, in 1978, they settled down in Allen, Texas, where Peggy lived until her death.  She enjoyed oil painting and spending time with family and friends.

Peggy was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years, Cmdr. James Joseph Steil, her brother, Ted Ellis Greenwalt and her daughter, Robin Steil.
