Sherrian Ann Pegg's Obituary
Sherrian Ann Pegg, age 66, of West Olive passed away Friday, March 15, 2013, at a Grand Rapids hospital. She was born September 16, 1946, in Niles, MI, to Revy and Willodean (Knapp) Smith.
Sherrian was formerly employed as an office manager at the dental office of Dr. Robert Long. After retirement, she enjoyed reading, stamp collecting, gardening, decorating, baking, canning, exercising, traveling, and watching the Detroit Tigers and bull riding events. She especially enjoyed entertaining and hosting an annual Easter egg hunt at her home in West Olive. Sherrian was a true perfectionist and trusted friend. She enjoyed her summers at Harbor View Marina in Ludington, MI, where she spent time boating and entertaining with her many wonderful dock mates, friends, and grandchildren. In the winter, she enjoyed fishing and relaxing with family and friends in Englewood, Florida. For Sherrian, family always came first, whether it was traveling to various countries and states to visit her daughter, Stef, or spending special time with her son Jeff’s children, Ali, Abi, and Connor. Her beautiful smile will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
Sherrian married Tom Pegg on May 2, 1997, in West Olive, and he survives her along with two children, Stefanie Hall of Grand Haven and Jeffrey (Buffy) Hall of Cedar Springs, MI; two step-children, Sara Pegg Short and Hollie Blakeney (Kevin) Conway; eight grandchildren: Alison, Abigail, and Connor Hall, Owen, Sophia, and Isabella Short, Ryan Yen-Sheng Su, and Aoife Conway; her parents, Revy and Willodean Smith; her father-in-law, William “Tom” Pegg of Grand Haven; and three sisters: Jeanette R. Phillips of South Bend, IN, and Valore J. (Larry) Barrett and Paula M. (Willis) Rogers, both of Niles. She was preceded in death by a brother-in-law, Victor Phillips, and her mother-in-law, Charlotte J. Pegg.
A private graveside service will be held at a later date. Interment will be in Mission Hills Gardens in Niles, MI.
