On July 29, 1962, she was united in marriage to Bruce Tressler at First Southern Baptist Church in Connersville, Indiana. Together, they shared nearly 64 wonderful years of marriage, building a life centered on faith, family, and love. Peggy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose greatest joy was caring for her family. She was a dedicated homemaker who lovingly raised her five children and later selflessly cared for her mother, Ethel, in the six years before her passing. Her Christian faith was the foundation of her life and was evident in the kindness, compassion, and service she extended to others. Peggy served on the Greensburg Community School District board for eight years and volunteered with Bread of Life in Greensburg for many years. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Greensburg, Indiana, and Mt. Sterling Baptist Church in Mt. Sterling, Indiana. Peggy found great happiness in gardening, tending to her flowers, and preserving the fruits of her labor through canning. She had a passion for antiques and especially cherished collecting Blue Willow dinnerware and various glassware. Above all, she treasured time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who brought immense joy to her life. Peggy will be remembered for her unwavering faith, caring heart, servant’s spirit, and the love she shared with her family and friends.
