Peggy Elaine Bullis, 81, of Halstad, MN passed away Monday, October 24, 2022, at her residence in Halstad.
Peggy was born on October 21, 1941, to Robert and Adeline Bennett in Harvey, ND. She attended school in West Fargo. On November 1, 1956, she was united in marriage to the love of her life, Jerry, in Webster, SD. They made their home in West Fargo, ND and had four children, Randy, Laurie, Bobby and Shelley. Peggy was a full-time homemaker until they moved to Halstad in 1969, where she worked a few different jobs to help support the family. One of the jobs she did most frequently was to drive beet and grain truck which she did for nearly 10 years. She then changed careers and became a full-time Nurse’s Aide at Halstad Living Center. She was there for more than 30 years, working her way up to Dietary Manager before retiring in 2013. She thoroughly enjoyed retirement, much more than she thought she would!
Peggy loved to travel, taking numerous trips with friends and family. She visited so many places, Hawaii, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Europe but truly the destination didn’t matter as much as the company, she took joy in spending time with the ones she loved. She had an adventurous spirit, always willing to try something at least once (except for bananas!). When she was home, she passed the time reading (including reading the newspaper front to back every day), shopping, and watching TV. She was particularly fond of true crime dramas, Wheel of Fortune and QVC. She was also an active member of the Halstad Lutheran Church where she was a member of the ladies group and she was a proud Red Hat Lady for years. Peggy knew every Daniel O’Donnell and Elvis song by heart and would happily dance and sing along whenever one of their songs was on. She was a true Elvis fan, having watched all of his movies multiple times and owning every piece of Elvis merchandise she could find. And if that memorabilia happened to be pink, her favorite color, then that was even better!
Peggy was a firecracker who immediately lit up any room she entered and made an impact on so many people. She loved her friends and family, and filled her home with warmth and kindness. Anyone that knew Peggy knew that her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were the light of her life. She was so incredibly proud of each and every one of them and would gladly talk about them for hours. She was the most loving mom and grandma that a family could ask for and will be desperately missed by all those that she’s left behind. Our hearts are so broken by this unexpected loss, she was one of a kind and to be loved by her was to be truly blessed.
Peggy is survived by two sons, Randy, West Fargo, ND, and Robert (Debie), Circle Pines, MN; one daughter, Shelley (Kim) Kappes, Oxbow, ND; eight grandchildren, Jarrod (Becki) and Travis (Nicolle) Bullis, Jennifer Turchin and Jessica Sather, Cody (Shausty) Bullis, and Briena (Greg) Goldsmith, Blake (Macy) Kappes and Brady Kappes; and ten great-grandchildren, Kasey, Adrian, Harlie, August, Kaylin, Jackson, Hunter, Coby, Trinity, and Zander. She is preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Adeline; husband, Jerry; daughter, Laurie; and grandson-in-law, Jerry.
