Peggy J. Heck, 89, Tell City

Peggy J. Heck, 89, passed away on February 22, 2024, at St. Vincent Hospital in Evansville.

She was born on January 11, 1935, the only child of Leonard and Lucille (Rollins) Reckelhoff, who preceded her in death.

Peggy was a 1953 graduate of Tell City High School. She soon married Ralph C. “Chris” Heck on July 10, 1954, at St. Paul Catholic Church, where she was a member.

An avid sports fan, Peggy rooted for I.U. athletics, the Los Angeles Dodgers, and she loved watching her grandchildren and great-grandchildren participate in all their activities. Peggy would look forward to seeing her friends at the bridge club, and she loved to play the slots at the casino and, later, stop by Red Lobster.
