Peggie Jo Spada

October 3, 1932 – October 23, 2026 – Peggie Jo Spada, beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away on October 23, 2026, having just reached the age of 94. Born in Ulysses, Kansas, her family moved to Portland, Oregon, during the dust bowl to preserve the health of one of her younger brothers. Peggie attended Gregory Heights Elementary School and Grant High School. It was the move to Portland that put her near her future husband. She had always told her family that she “was going to marry a farmer”. When a retired schoolteacher who lived a block over from her family’s home approached her mother about the older children going with her to work on a vegetable farm in the summer, it was Peggie’s prophecy come true. The farm belonged to the Spada family, and she and the rest of her siblings worked on the farm for many years.
