It is with a heavy heart that we note the passing of great friend to the Museum and the Glenwood Cemetery, Peggy Fletcher, one week ago.
She will be missed as we remember her presence and enthusiasm at our lectures, events, and her trips to our Research Library. Our condolences to her children Jillbette and Rex, and the rest of her family.
Our friends at Park City Utah Seniors are planning a celebration of her life, so keep an eye out for that.
Rest in peace, Peggy 💜
