Electia Emily "Peg" (Minch) Bolley was born in Howe, IN., December 31, 1899 and died June 25, 2002 in Dimondale, MI.

After living a full life of 102 years, she watched the ages pass from "horse-and-buggy-days" to wondrous probing of outer space and greeted every change in awe of hope of even better things to come. Good times and hard times were a part of her life: a happy childhood, grieving, grieving when siblings and many friends died during the flu epidemic of 1918, seeing her brothers go off to WWI, burying her parents, all of her six siblings, her husband, and four of her six children ... her husband, Harold Joseph Bolley (1964); two sons: John Jacob (1989) and Donald Willard (1976); Donald's wife, Mary Beth (Reid) 1978); a daughter, Janice Jane (1961); and a baby son, Winthrop Lynn (1931).
Two daughters and daughter-in-law survive her: Jeanne Joy Snyder (Luvern), Joanne Joyce Gorsline, and John's wife Sonja. Also 11 grandchildren, 21 great-grandchildren.
"Peg" worked 28 years at the J.W. Knapp store (downtown Lansing) in the yard goods department retiring at age 72.
