Margaret Eisen Obituary

Peggy introduced me to pizza, ballet, a love for gardening and "Peg time". The Kansas City clan will miss her presence at family functions.

Hello Bob and family from friend of 50 years ago. I first met Peggy at The Sun Herald in Kansas City in 1952, and later valued your friendships, along with Adolph Schalk and other friends you introduced me to at Friendship House and Peter Maurin House. I read the other comments from your more contemporary friends and was pleased that Peggy still had that "patented Peggy" smile and gracious demeanor, as one friend wrote. Bob, Steve, Joe, Merija, Tony--you all have my sympathy at this time of your loss. But with a spirited soul that Peggy demonstrated she is always with you. God Bless. Wendall

Our thoughts are with Merija and the whole family as you mourn the loss of the wonderful woman who was your Mother.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. My thoughts are with you Steve.

I did not have the pleasure of knowing Mrs. Eisen, but she raised one of the finest men I have ever known in Steve. My heart goes out to the entire family.

she was truly one of the kindest souls I was fortunate enough to encounter on this plane I will always cherish her perpetual youthful spirit and am grateful for the gift of such wonderfull additions to the human race as her son Steve

I never knew Margaret, but I knew of her from her grand-daughter Luci. She was very special to Luci and was obviously loved by many people. I send my love to the Eisen Family and friends for their loss.

Peg Eisen was one of my mom's dearest friends and lived right across the street from us. We spent lots of time back and forth between the two houses. I was even a babysitter on occasion.

One Easter Peg came over with Merija, who was very small. She was dressed up and had a purse with her. My dad asked, "What's in the purse?" She proceeded to pull out a live mouse. We told dad it was a good lesson for him to never ask a woman what she had in her purse.

The last time I saw Peg was at a violin recital given by Ginny Kunkel's granddaughter. Peg looked the same as ever, wonderful, and with a great sense of humor. I will really miss her.

The mark that Peggy left on the calligraphic community in Chicago is great. The Newberry exhibit, Exploration 2007, is dedicated to her for her years of service as the exhibits chairman for the Chicago Calligraphy Collective. Thank you Peggy.

Don't mourn the death, but celebrate the life. My sympathies are with you.

There's a time when you know this is
special.
We knew that when we met your mom Steve...And it's carried on to you.

Our hearts and prayers are with you
and your family.

Exhibitions for the Chicago Calligraphy Collective were my fondest memories. Peggy was very tenacious for these auspicious yearly exhibits. I will always remember the work from reviewing slides with Don Neruda to climbing the Newberry cherry picker to adjust a calligraphic treasure that was just a skosh askew. She had a "way" with pebbles & rocks for book specimens and a definite proclivity juxtaposing exhibit pieces. My exhibit education was abetted each time we worked together. My wife & I had the good fortune of a spring visit last year to once again witness the patented Peggy smile and gracious demeaner. Her courage and dignity of her illness is testament of her character. She is now with angels and everlasting peace...

I am blessed to have had a chance to see Peggy in good spirits just a couple of months ago, after so many years.

She's still here, isn't she? One of those spirits who never really disappears, one of the ones I'll carry with me always.

Just from meeting Margaret one time I could tell that she was a very happy person who looked at the world the same way her attitude was, positive. I’m sorry for your loss and that I didn’t get more chances to hang out with her.

Peggy. Never gone.

I



will never forget the last time I spoke with Peggy. It was in the park, the



trust fund gig.I knew what the situation was but, despite all of that she



still had a lot to offer she talked to me about the future that day, and



inspired me to move forward. The rain stopped long enough for Conjunto to



play, I gues I knew it was the last time. I will miss her and so will the



band, all the bands.

We'll always remember Peggy with the greatest of affection and love. She was a remarkable woman and gifted in so many ways. We'll miss her sweet smile and gracious manner. Our prayers go out to you and your family at this time of bereavement.

Very honest and passionate individual. Inspired all that surrounded to live true. Never a dull moment.

God Bless You and your family Steve in your hour of bereavement. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers.

We may not know what the future holds but we know who holds the future.

She sounded like a fantastic woman, and I'm sure she was. I'm sorry for your loss.

thank you, peggy! your smile from the audience always inpsired me.

God bless you.

You are now the stars
we'll map our lives by

Thank you Peggy
