Pegue

Joy C. Pegue passed away on October 27, 2026 in Denver, Colorado, at the age of 91.

Born on February 23, 1935 in Kalispell, Montana, to Jack and Elma Williams. Joy truly lived up to her name. She was a light in the lives of her family and friends, bringing warmth, laughter, and happiness to everyone fortunate enough to know her.

Joy was preceded in death by the love her life, William “Bill” Pegue; her beloved Son Tony, and her five sisters and two brothers.

She leaves behind her daughter Patti (Drew), and her grandchildren, Blake, Caleb, Paige, Claire, Lily, and Rory. She is also survived by her stepdaughters, Kim (Keith), Jaymeson (Phil), Robin (Mathis), and Leslie, along with many extended family members and dear friends.

Joy’s life was a beautiful melody, and although her song has ended here on earth, it will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who loved her.

“I will carry my grief in one hand and my Joy in the other.”

Internment will take place at the Santa Fe National Cemetery on a date to be determined.
