Peggy Lee Henry

Peggy Lee Henry, age 71, passed away on August 13, 2026, in Fort Wayne. She was born on February 25, 1955, in Rochester, Indiana.

Peggy graduated from Whitco High School in 1973. She earned an Associate’s Degree in Secretarial-Legal Technology from Indiana Vocational Technical College in 1983. She worked in the office supply business in the payroll department for many years and concluded her career in the family business as a Register Investment Adviser assistant.

On May 16, 1988, Peggy married Michael L. Henry at Mission of the Bells in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Peggy’s warm spirit was reflected in the life with those she loved and in the quiet, generous ways she cared for family and friends. She found joy in travel—especially out West in California, Colorado, and Europe, including Denmark. For more than 30 years, she made annual family reunion trips to Aspen for skiing, a tradition that spoke to her enduring enthusiasm for the outdoors. She also loved reading novels.

Peggy’s gentle heart was perhaps most evident in the affection she had for her pets. She loved her four cats—Milo, Marlee, Lin-Lin, and Sweet P—and she also rescued rare Heritage breed Anacona ducks: Wye, Tat, Dot, Junior, YoYo, Solo, and Baby, previously on the endangered species list.
