Peggy Wickmann

Peggy Jean(Blair)Wickmann, age 70, entered the eternal presence of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on June 12, 2016. She was born on March 24, 1946 in Glenwood, Minnesota to Edward and Eunice Blair. She attended school at Glenwood public schools. She excepted Christ as her Savior when she was 13 at a youth for Christ Bible camp. She was forever changed and said this was the most important day of her life. In ninth grade, she started the first Youth for Christ group in her high school, which she continued to lead through her senior year. Peggy and Roger met on October 7, 1966. Ten days later, they were engaged. They were married on January 7, 1967, only three months after the day they met. Together, they raised their four children, Todd, Tonia, Tweit, and Tiffany, in Lakeville and Laporte, MN. In 2005, they moved to Ft. Myers, Florida, which has been their home ever since. They were married 49 years, 5 months and 5 days. Peggy enjoyed a variety of careers, including being a travel agent, selling real estate, driving a limousine, being a teacher's aid at Bethany Academy, and working at customer service for Western, Northwest and Delta Airlines. Of all the roles she played, however, nothing was more important to her than her role as a wife, mother, grandmother, and foster mother. Peggy is survived by her husband, Roger Wickmann, daughter Tonia(Stan) Harder, son Tweit(Jolynn) Wickmann, daughter Tiffany(Kristian) Alekov, daughter-in-law Katia Wickmann, eight Granddaughters, 5 Grandsons, her mother,Eunice Blair, as well as three sisters and three brothers. She was preceded in death by her father Edward Blair, her brother Paul Blair, and her son Todd Wickmann. She lived her life passionately with intent and purpose. Peggy loved family, old and new friends, traditions, and holidays. She loved meeting new people, traveling, camping, playing piano, knitting baby blankets and sweaters, reading, and studying and teaching God's word. She was always involved in her church. Peggy started the first Women's Aglow Group while she was a young mom, she taught many Bible studies, she lead many women's retreats, and she never wasted an opportunity to share the love of Christ with anyone. She loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, above all else. Through Him, she selflessly and unconditionally loved all those around her. Peggy was a worshipper and a woman of prayer. She will be greatly missed. Peggy's heart beat for missions. She always dreamed of being a missionary in a foreign land; however, she lived in such a way that made her home and daily life her mission field. She used whatever she had, including her talents, her time, her home and resources, to minister to others.
