Peggy Dolores Crabb Edwards

March 22, 2023

On March 20, 2023, we lost our beloved wife, mother and friend Peggy Dolores Crabb Edwards at Cherry Hill Haven of Traverse City, Michigan, where she was living for the last twelve months.

Peggy was the devoted wife of 72 years to Jerry Edwards of Traverse City. Michigan. They were high school sweethearts at Crane High School in Crane, where Peggy was voted prettiest Girl and Frontier Days woman of the year. They raised two children, Paula Raeanne Korndorfer of Traverse City, Michigan and JonMarc Edwards (Becky Hartman) of Los Angeles, California.

Peggy also leaves behind four grandchildren, Tessa Korndorfer Ozdamar (Barish) of New York, New York, Erika Korndorfer (Kyle Kobylski) of Traverse City, Michigan, Elijah Edwards of Brooklyn, New York and Gabrielle Edwards of Brooklyn, New York. Peggy was also proud to have two great-grandchildren, Benjamin and Raphael Ozdamar of New York, New York.

Peggy was the last surviving sister of four, Betty, June and Donna Gail, whose father and mother Paul and Wilma Crabb resided in Elsey, where she was born and raised.

Peggy was a wonderful cook and loved to bake specializing in cakes, pies and holiday fare. Her red velvet cake was especially delicious and was always requested by her family when they came to visit. She also was an avid hobbyist and craftsperson, refinishing furniture, creating resin sculptures or making collages or scrapbooks. Peggy also enjoyed gardening, board games and cards, playing Bridge, Pinochle, and Euchre.

Mostly, Peggy enjoyed spending her time with her exceptional husband, Jerry and their dogs Jesse, Annie, and Jassy, watching TV, traveling or spending time with the extended family.

In lieu of flowers and gifts the family requests donations to: Cherryland Humane Society, 1750 Ahlberg Road Traverse City MI, 49696 or at Cherrylandhumane.org/donate.

A memorial service will be held in Crane, later this spring.
