Peggy would tell people she had seen “the other side.” It happened while she was hospitalized in 2013 while battling H1N1. Lying in her hospital bed, she briefly slipped away. For a moment, she heard the most beautiful music and stood on the side of a road where spirits were traveling to the light.
On Nov. 28th, Peggy finally stepped onto that road and walked toward the music and her new home of eternal love and peace.
Luker was born April 20th, 1950, in Gorman, Texas, to WH and Dorothy Lester. She grew up in Commanche, Texas, and graduated from Comanche High.
She is survived by her loving husband, Floyd Luker, whom she married Feb. 4th, 1989, in Brownwood, Texas. The pair moved to Butte, where they’ve lived for many years.
Luker was dedicated to her family, a member of St. John’s Episcopal Church in Butte and a supporter of the American Heart Association.
She is survived by her daughters, Heather Lingle (John Emeigh) and Skeeter Lingle (Trevor Scott); grandchildren, Theo Lingle-Dubyak, Hadley Lingle and Seamus Lingle-Scott. She is preceded in death by her first husband Denton Lingle, her parents and brother, Neal Lester.

I am so sorry for your loss. Peggy was a remarkable woman and a force of nature. She was so reassuring when Jan was pregnant with her first. I will miss her very much.
