On Dec 28th, 1958, Peggy married Jerry McCauley, forming an inseparable bond that lasted 61 years on Earth. An alumnus of St. Cloud State, Peggy began teaching at Island Lake elementary in 1957 and continued her career educating Mounds View's youth until 1997.

Peggy had a radiating glow of kindness that caused children to gravitate towards her. She was not only a teacher in the classroom, but a teacher of life; instilling a depth of love, friendship, and strength in whomever she encountered. Her cremated remains will be resting at Roselawn Cemetery. A service will be scheduled in the spring.
