Peggy Meikle

On August 27, heaven welcomed our Angel, Peggy Brenda Meikle, age 73. Our mother, lived just as she had died, with unwavering faith, courage, selflessness and eternal love, even though she fought a heroic battle with ALS. Our beautiful mother was born to Lawrence and Arkie Ford on October 1st, 1945, the youngest of 10 children. On April 28th, 1962, she married the love of her life, William Wayne Meikle, and together they had been married 57 years. During their marriage they became parents of two children, Todd Meikle of Spokane, WA and Wendy Overacker of Bellingham, WA. In December of 1984, Mom would become (2nd Mom) and Grandmother to the first of six grandsons Nicholas (Ananbel) Meikle, DJ (Kayla) Overacker, Bryer (Breeann) Overacker, Joshua, Zachary and Shelby Meikle. Completing her legacy, she would become a Great Grandmother to 10 Great Grandchildren, Jazmine, Adrian, Ryan, Violet, Jaxon, Maycee, Alexis, Raven, Zane, and Lucas. Aside from being the all knowing, always loving matriarch of this large family, mom pursued a successful career in the medical field which spanned decades serving in office administrative positions while achieving and maintaining her Washington state certification as a Certified Medical Assistant. She participated in continuing education and advancement until her retirement. Mom was loved by all and will greatly missed! Our Mom was preceded in death by both her parents, brothers and several of her sisters as well as her son-in-law, Dennis Overacker Sr .and Great Grandson Jase Overacker.
