Peggy lived a fulfilling life marked by her quiet and unassuming nature, always leading with a servant's heart.

Peggy leaves behind a legacy of love and kindness. She is survived by her beloved husband, Mark Herrington; sons, Jarrod and Shaun Herrington; daughter, Joanna Herrington; grandchildren, Logan, Noah, and Eliza Herrington. She is also survived by her brothers, Bill (Margie) Monaghan and Jim (Linda) Monaghan, as well her sister, Thelma (Frank) Morris. She will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. 

Margaret will be fondly remembered for her contributions towards advancing Parkinson's research through medical studies as well as her active participation in the ESL program and choir at Westchester Evangelical Free Church in Des Moines, Iowa.
