Peggy Joyce Fraser

With deep love and profound respect, we celebrate the remarkable life of Peggy Joyce Fraser, a cherished soul who left this world on June 1, 2026, at the age of 92. Born on September 27, 1933, in Nashville, Tennessee, Peggy was the beloved daughter of Ollie and Louise (Wood) Bush. Her life was a testament to family, love, dedication, and community service. Peggy's journey began in Dearborn, Michigan, where she graduated from Fordson High School and later pursued further education at Henry Ford Community College. It was during her high school years that she met Andy, the love of her life, while playing in the school band—she with her flute and he with his tuba. Their love story spanned 58 beautiful years of marriage, filled with shared passions and adventures. Peggy's professional life was marked by a long and fulfilling career at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, where she devoted 37 years of service, touching many lives with her kindness and competence. Outside of work, she was an active member of the North Lake United Methodist Church and a lifelong member of the Order of Eastern Star. Together with Andy, she delighted in community events, square dancing, camping, and travel activities that took them around the United States and beyond, creating memories that would last a lifetime. A tech enthusiast before it became fashionable, Peggy embraced technology with a curious mind and a pioneering spirit. She learned to code and adeptly navigated the early days of computers, all while guiding her young grandsons in the digital age. Even at 92, she masterfully used her devices daily. Peggy's heart was deeply intertwined with nature, and she found immense joy in the serene beauty of Ellsworth Lake, where she spent over 80 years of her life. She was an accomplished seamstress, crafting intricate square dance costumes and matching attire for Andy. Her creativity and attention to detail were evident in every stitch and every moment spent in nature's embrace. Preceded in death by her beloved husband, Andrew Fraser; her parents, Ollie and Louise Bush; her brother, Ollie Bush Jr.; son-in-law, William G. Hall Jr.; nephews, Peter Bush and Mathew Jakubiak; sister-in-law, Barbara Bush; and brother-in-law, Robert Loraine, Peggy leaves behind a legacy of love and warmth. Her spirit lives on in her daughters, Joylin Hall and Patricia Lewis (Stephen); her sister, Frances Loraine; her brother, Donald Bush (Julie); grandsons, Nicholas and Bryan Hall; great-grandchildren, Ella and Brayden Hall; and bonus granddaughters, Laura and Jenny, along with their children, Emily, Madison, Sophia, and Taylor. She is also survived by nieces, nephews, and grand nieces and nephews, each of whom carry a piece of her legacy forward. Peggy's family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the Ellsworth Lake community for their enduring friendship and support. Special appreciation is given to her dedicated and compassionate hospice team. A celebration of Peggy's life will be held at North Lake United Methodist Church, where friends and family will gather to honor a life lived with adventure, humor, and boundless love. Peggy Joyce Fraser leaves behind a legacy of kindness and joy, and she will forever be remembered in the hearts of those she touched.
