Peggy J. Zupan passed away peacefully in her home with family and special caregivers at her side, after a courageous battle with Parkinson's disease. Peggy was born to Frank and Nona (Day) Bradley on November 29, 1932, in Wellington Texas. She moved to Fremont County shortly after birth, where she lived most of her life. She was preceded in death by her father, Frank Bradley, her mother, Nona Adams, brother, Baby Max, her step-father Lloyd Adams, step-brother Chuck Adams, and numerous other aunts, uncles, cousins, mothers and fathers-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, all of whom she cherished.
Peggy was married to her beloved husband, Joseph A. Zupan on June 23, 1951, who preceded her in death in 2013. She is survived by her sons, Joseph (Alan), of Taos, New Mexico, Steven (Terry), and David (Elizabeth), both of Pueblo; brother, Merle "Brad" Bradley; step-brother, Dean Adams; sister-in-law, Linda Zupan; numerous nieces and nephews, including Charles Zupan and Michelle Zupan, who helped Peggy and Joe immensely over the years, all of whom she loved dearly. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Paul (Tracy) Ray, Marc (Katie) Zupan, Joshua Zupan; seven great-grandchildren, all whom she loved dearly and was so very proud of. JoEllen (Rex) Love, her very special cousin and friend, also survives.
Peggy graduated from Canon City High School in the class of 1950, and worked at McKinley Elementary School for 25 years, retiring in 1992. Her work there was treasured by the thousands of children whom Peggy loved and cared for as their loving school librarian. She loved every child that came through her library and each one of them meant so much to her. She was the kind of person who was so richly blessed with an ability to connect with and care for children. Her influence on these children was truly special.
Peggy was actively involved in the Epsilon Sigma Alpha sorority, a past member of the Fremont County Library Board, PTO President, and enjoyed her participation in the Knitting Club for many years.
Special thanks to all of Peggy's personal caregivers, and to all of the wonderful staff at Sangre de Cristo Hospice. She loved them all very much. The care she received from all of these wonderful people was a shining example of the love and care that she displayed to so many throughout her life.
