Peggy Marie Kesner

Tribute

Peggy (Pegasus) Marie Kesner, 60 years old, from Boise, Idaho, passed Friday, May 18, 2018 from a self-inflicted gunshot. This information is being offered to help raise awareness of suicide in the hope that you may be able to see the signs of depression and pain in others and offer help and support knowing that in the end only they can make the decision to help themselves.

Peggy was born December 12, 1957 in Boise, Idaho to Loyd and Mary Bell and is survived by her brother Michael, husband David, son Talon and his wife Ivy, mother-in-law Donna Kesner, and a large family of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Peggy married David Kesner on June 25, 1977 and their only son, Talon, was born on April 3, 1987. She worked several jobs during her life including Hewlett Packard, Meridian School District, The Disney Store, and the State of Idaho where she was working as an administrative assistant for the Department of Education, Student Transportation at the time of her death.

Peggy and Donna Kesner started the Meridian Quick Response Unit in 1976. It was here a year later that she met and married Donna’s son.

Peggy really enjoyed riding on the back of David’s motorcycle and caving but two of her biggest loves (besides family and friends) were Anime (Japanese Animation and Cosplay) and her animals. Peggy rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of animals over her lifetime including bats, ferrets, sugar gliders, turtles, cats, dogs, and more but her favorite was the hedgehogs. The Anime community was always a second family to her and she was a great inspiration to them seeing that you could be “old” and still dress-up and Cosplay.

There will be no public service as Peggy wished to be cremated and will be laid to rest among the many animals she had to see pass. There will be a celebration of Peggy’s life sometime this summer.

Because of Peggy’s love for animals it is requested that you make a donation to your favorite animal group in her name such as your local humane shelter, Animals in Distress (here in Boise), BCI (Bat Conservation International), or the like.

Peggy’s infectious smile will never be forgotten by anyone who was lucky enough to see it.
