Evelyn Margaret “Peg” Greenlee, 95, of Charleston, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Tuesday, February 1, 2022.
Peg was born in Jonesville, Michigan, February 5, 1926.
She was a 1947 graduate of Michigan State University (where she met Joe Greenlee) and became a teacher of Home Economics. In 1949, she married Joe and in 1951 they moved to Charleston.
