Clapsaddle on the family farm in Grundy County, Iowa. She was blessed with a loving home, talented siblings, a childhood spent outdoors in the open expanses of rural Iowa, and a lifestyle that fostered the self-reliance that served her throughout her life. The family continues to own the farm, which is approaching Century Status. In 1939 Peggy graduated from Conrad Consolidated School, where she played baritone horn in the concert and marching bands. She attended Iowa State University for a year, then moved to Cedar Rapids and graduated from Cedar Rapids Business College. She later took courses at Coe College. She worked at Perpetual Savings and Loan and then as a legal secretary for many years. She married James W. Crawford in 1949 at the United Methodist Church in Conrad, Iowa. To this union five children were born, all of whom survive. After her children were grown, Peggy enjoyed working for Kelly Services for a few years. A highlight of her adult life was attending a summer program at the University of Iowa Writers' Workshop. She was active at Westminster Presbyterian Church for as long as her health allowed. During her 60 years with the church she was a Sunday school teacher, deacon, elder and newsletter editor. Peggy volunteered as a Bluebird and Cub Scout leader at Erskine School. She volunteered at the Cedar Rapids Public Library, Linn County Food Bank, Loaves and Fishes and St. Luke’s Hospital. Mercy Hospital benefited from more than 1000 hours of Peggy’s volunteer contributions. Peggy also generously supported the nonprofit efforts of her younger son, David. She was a member of PEO Chapter II, Questers, Red Hatters, Friends of the Library and several bridge groups. She was blessed with a number of dear friends. There were many things she enjoyed throughout her life, especially the times with her family. She loved to travel and visited many countries and islands. She loved to garden, read, bird watch, bake and play bridge. She also enjoyed investing, which she did until shortly before her death. In earlier years she enjoyed sewing, quilting, modeling and various crafts. Her family and friends will remember her as a devoted mother and grandmother, a steadfast friend, and a woman of principle, character, loyalty, wit, will, intelligence and curiosity. Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her brother Jack L. Clapsaddle, and her husband Jim.
