Longtime and treasured Zonta Club of Everett Member, Peggy, ….
Margaret “Peggy” Stevenson, 96, passed away at her home October 6. Peggy began working at the Snohomish County PUD soon after it began operations in 1949 and remained there until 1984 when she retired as Administrative Services Director and Clerk of the Board of Commissioners.
In her long and active life, Peggy enjoyed a number of interests and hobbies. She and John loved the outdoors and spent many weekends and vacations camping and fishing. She was an avid reader, a casual golfer, did beautiful needlework, and loved to travel. In addition to visits back to her native Australia, she traveled to Europe, Japan, and throughout the U.S. One of her favorite pastime activities was ballroom dancing. When she was in her 70’s she began dancing lessons to prepare for her and John’s 50th wedding anniversary celebration and she went on to compete both locally and internationally, winning several trophies.
Peggy was also involved in several organizations and civic committees. She served as president of our club from 1975 – 1978 and in 2013 was awarded the Virginia Gullikson service award for improving the status of women. She was a supportive, caring and much loved matriarch who will be dearly missed.
