How is Peggy doing?

Post by Xanadu1jw »

Hi all, I have been away from these boards for so long there's probably no one I know or who knows me but in all the years since I read Pam & Peggy's books & went to a couple of the seminars I have loved them. Wish I could hear how Peggy is doing. I have tried to find out several times over the last few years. Anyone know?
Thanks!

Hello Zanadu
Welcome to this corner of the web.
If you post some more or pm a mod or admin perhaps some who have been around awhile can match an old name to your new name.
I know Pam is still writing and is linked to flylady now.
Peggy - I think she had a stroke ? (not sure) and died some time later but I admit my memory is not clear on this so perhaps I have details wrong. I found FL about 7 -8 years ago and I think it was early side of middle when news of Peggy was announced - so - guessing widely - maybe 4-5 years ago.
Most likely someone else knows better than I do.

Its nice to have you here so hope you will stop in again to tell us more. Most posting is on the daily PWYC threads. Or post an intro in Across the Cafe Table.
Just begin.

1. Yes, I remember you.

2. I can't find a reference to Peggy dying. Back in 2000 (or shortly after) she retired due to MS. I just did a google search and can't find any reference to her death. I did find someone asking the question a year ago on one of the question sites but no answer. A quick search of our archives didn't turn up anything either but our search function isn't perfect.

Even Pam's new website doesn't mention Peggy at all in the About section so that seems to indicate she may have passed on, although it seems strange there isn't a mention of her at all.

How are you, Xanadu? :) I made a rhyme. Glad to see you posting.

This was the statement in a June, 2009 article in a Washington newspaper by Tom Paulu:

(Peggy) Jones developed multiple sclerosis and retired five years ago. “She was my business partner, my sister, my best friend,” (Pam) Young said. “It’s a nasty disease.”


Like Kathryn, I have seen no further news.
