Peggy was born in 1947 to Kurt and Ruth Kruse and passed away peacefully at the age of 72. She was married to her longtime friend and love, Don Agrusa, who preceded her in passing. She worked for many years at P.T.A.B. in Modesto where she enjoyed time with her coworkers and made many long-term friends.

Peggy is survived by her two daughters, Renee Thomas and Allison Agrusa; her sister, Karen Miller; her two grandchildren, Brittany Henden and Brian McIntyre; and her two great grandchildren, Cooper Henden and Liam McIntyre.

Peggy was truly an angel here on earth with a vivacious spirit, a smile that never quit, and a generous servant heart that touched so many lives. She will be dearly missed by family and numerous friends every day.

Peggy was a wonderful person and mother-in-law to me. I thanked God for the chance to chat with you in recent times and will pray for you to enjoy you new life in Heaven with your friend and love Don again. It is not the end of life, but a new beginning. Until we can meet again someday, I miss you…always have, always will.

My dear friend Peggy, How lucky heaven is to gain such a beautiful sweet and caring person. From the first night shift at PTAB you took me under your wing we had so many crazy nights full of laughter and fun, your smile would brighten up any room. You will be missed dearly. Rest my friend until we meet again in heaven. Let your light shine down.

Peggy was a very selfless person when it came to family and friends. She helped so many of us through illness or hardship. She helped me in more ways than I can count for most of my life. She was not only a parent to me, she was also my friend. I will miss our hour long phone calls and making eachother laugh. She will truly be missed, but she will continue to watch over us from up above.

Gramma, I could write a novel expressing how much you have shaped my life and how much I will miss you, but there is no need. You will forever live on through me, and after that, Cooper. Your beautiful spirit will never fade. I love you so much. You have truly taken a part of my heart with you. Your loving granddaughter always.
