Margaret 'Peggy" L Wallace

Margaret (Peggy) L. Wallace (nee Glendenning), 88, of Vermilion, died Thursday, November 23, 2023 at Mercy New Life Hospice after a lengthy illness.

She was born September 9, 1935 in Washington, PA and had been a Vermilion resident for the past 64 years moving from Cleveland Ohio.

Peggy worked for Lithonia Downlighting as an Assembler for 30 years before retiring.

Peggy had a quick wit and a hilarious sense of humor. She enjoyed cooking, baking, canning, ceramics, crocheting, cake decorating and candy making. She loved a good party and took pride in her annual holiday dinners and cookouts. She is most known for celebrating Jesus's birthday every year on Christmas. She was spiritual and a woman of good faith. Above all, she loved her family and grandbabies, and even crocheted baby blankets for grandbabies yet to be born.

She is survived by her brother Dennis Glendenning (Patty), her children, John Wallace, James (Belinda) Wallace, Delores (Joseph)  Stephens, and Kelly Armstrong. Left to cherish her memory are her grandbabies, John (Michelle) Wallace, Ginger (Tony) Cantu, Cassandra Wallace, Melissa Perras, Heather (Angela) Wallace, James (Felicia) Wallace Jr., Angela (Harry) Hill, Katie (Joshua) Jansen, Amanda Armstrong, and David (Laura) Armstrong; great grandbabies, Brooke, Liam, Karley, Felicia, Toni Marie, Andrew, Ryan, Dominic, Makayla, Rylan, Liam, Avreigh, JayJay, Johnathan, Winter, Jay'ren, Nicole, Joey, Tommy, Kylo, Ariana, Jacob "Chubbs' and Jon. She is also survived by great great grandbabies, Mariah, Juliegha, Nora and "Little Man" Nate, and friends that she considered family, Pam Cooper and Jim Bacisin.

She was preceded in death by her husband, John J Wallace; son, Bob Wallace; parents, Herschel and Margaret (nee Batson) Glendenning; and her beloved best friend and sister-in-law, Patty Glendenning.
