Peggy M. Meeks, age 91, of Canton, passed away on Tuesday April 30, 2019. She was born in Canton on January 16, 1928 to the late Richard and Gertrude (Scott) Coleman and graduated from Timken Vocational High School. After high school she married Donald E. Meeks. They were married for 62 years until Donald passed away in 2015. She was a secretary for Canton City Schools where she worked for head school nurse, Dora Wilson and then in the office of Pupil Personnel. She retired after more than 30 years of service. She was a lifetime member of Lowell Church, where she enjoyed the fellowship of many friends and also worked as a secretary post retirement.

After retirement, Peggy enjoyed life to the fullest. She enjoyed traveling, cross-stitch, decorating for the holidays, social events with friends, and could often be found reading a book on her front porch. Most of all, she enjoyed spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She will be loved and cherished in the hearts of her family forever and missed by many.
