Peggy A. Shockey *
Peggy Ann Shockey (70) of Paul ID, passed away Thursday evening the 19th of January, 2012.
Peggy was born June 14, 1941 to parents Melvin & Phoebe Cooper in Torrance, CA. Raised in Hawthorne, CA, she graduated from Hawthorne High in 1959. Peggy was married to Billy Chris Shockey for 52 years. They moved to Idaho, where they raised three children.
Peggy’s favorite activities included hunting and fishing with her husband where she only slightly trailed his deer kill record, and held the fishing record for the first, biggest & most! Peggy also enjoyed card games, bowling, golfing, but most of all spending time with her family. Peggy was a homemaker who took pride each harvest when she and a few or her other homemaker friends would help local farmers by driving beet truck.
Peggy is survived by her husband, Bill Shockey; her brother Bill (Pat) Cooper; her daughter Tracy (Mike) Haskin; her son Mike (Kelly) Shockey; her grandchildren Lindsay, Aaron, & Taylor; her mother-in-law Nettie Gates, and her dear friend Michelle Ross.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her daughter Linda Shockey and her granddaughter Ashley Haskin.
The family would like to thank the staff at Cassia Regional Medical Center and St. Alphonsus Medical Center for their loving care of Peggy.
A great woman, we will remember her most for how she “loved that little bastard.”
