Peggy Stiles, 69

On the beautiful afternoon of February 25, Peggy Stiles passed away at St. Peter’s Hospital, surrounded by family, after a long, hard fought battle with cancer. Peggy had just celebrated her 69th birthday. 

Peggy was born February 11, 1951 in Burlington, WA to Walter (Bud) and Helen (Martin) Meins, the fourth of five children. Her mother always said that from the minute Peggy was born she was a fighter and a ‘tough cookie’, which Peggy proved true throughout her life. 

Peggy grew up in Sedro-Woolley, WA in a big, loving family. She often joyfully spoke of growing up in a rural area where she gained her love of gardening and cooking. Then it was a chore but later it became a love of hers. Peggy attended school in Sedro-Woolley and graduated from Sedro-Woolley High School in 1969.
