From Peggy's family . . .

Larry and Jan have been in touch with Peggy Scanlon's daughters. For those wishing to make a charitable donation in Peggy's memory, the family suggests a gift to the Bisbee Mining and Historical Museum or to UNICEF's Syrian Refugees Appeal. A memorial service is planned for January 8, 2022 in Tucson.

One of Peggy's daughters has written a remembrance describing her mother's fascinating life, including her upbringing in mining regions around the world, her education as an architect and experiences as a pilot, her treks in Cochise County and in the Himalayas, her extensive travels in the Middle East, and her work as a watercolorist and photographer. I am happy to share this with anyone interested, and also have available the address to which condolences may be sent. Please email me for those at ebernstein2001@yahoo.com

Farewell, Peggy

 Peggy Louise Scanlon

July 5, 1938 - April 15, 2021


We have just learned that Peggy passed away earlier this year.

I knew Peggy as a Muleteam mainstay, an incredibly energetic hiker who told fascinating tales of her far-flung travels. Before leaving Bisbee in 2018, she welcomed Muleteam into her home many times for our holiday potluck. In Muleteam's early days she was among the pioneers who blazed many of our trails.

Rest in peace, Peggy, you will be missed!
