Margaret “Peggy” Ann Oeding, 75, Jasper

Margaret “Peggy” Ann Oeding, 75, of Jasper, passed away on July 28, 2017, at the IU Hospice House in Bloomington.

Peggy was born on March 26, 1942, to Roman and Catherine (Giesler) Kluemper in Jasper. She and her five brothers grew up on the family’s farm in Jasper. On June 30, 1961, she married Fred Oeding and they had five children.

Peggy worked for Avon, Home Interiors, GE, Jasper Seating and retired from Kimball. She received a GED and was a licensed cosmetologist. She enjoyed being with her family and friends; liked country music, polka dancing and ironing. She played the organ, guitar and accordion.

In spite of declining health, Peggy was able to live independently thanks to the loving support of her niece Lisa Voges, her dear friend Debbie Kuper, her brothers and their wives, as well as many other friends and family in her beloved hometown of Jasper. She was an energetic, hard-working, fun-loving person who will be greatly missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents; and brothers, John, Thomas, and Gerald.
