She was respected by her friends, relatives, and acquaintances as an elegant and independent woman. Peg loved and was devoted to her son, Chris, who meant the world to her. She had a wonderful sense of humor and passion for fun.
She would never pass up a shopping excursion, boat ride, or a glass of wine. Peg always looked forward to the Buddy Holly weekend in Clear Lake, the yearly family RAGBRAI adventure, and trips to Mexico with dear friends. She meticulously tended to her home and yard, and was admired for her green thumb. Throughout her life, so many shared laughs and tears with Peg. She was loved and will be missed by many.
Peg is survived by her son, Chris (Josie Valentine) Bowe of Orlando, Florida; her siblings, Sheila (Duane) Moksnes of Hopkins, Minnesota, Joan (Bruce) Kleckner of Fresno, California, and Tim (Annette) Von Tersch of Cedar Falls, Iowa; sister-in-law, Marilyn Von Tersch of Osage, Iowa; and many nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Bill and Cecilia (Smith) Von Tersch; brother, Tom Von Tersch; sister, Kathy Veren; niece, Michele Von Tersch; and two nephews, Marty Von Tersch and Jimmy Kleckner.
