Peggy (Mary Margaret Cummings) Stier, age 92, wife, mother, artist, musician, passed away peacefully with her family around her.
Peggy was born in Cresco, Iowa, in 1924 to Paul and Mame Cummings. She had one sister, Paula. Their family moved to Austin, Minn., where her grandfather, T.F. Cummings founded the bottling works. Peggy enjoyed helping at the Coca-Cola Bottling Company with her father and grandfather. Later, Peggy and Paula rode and showed her father’s award-winning American Cream and Saddlebred horses around the midwest. Peggy attended St. Catherine’s University in St. Paul, Minn., earning a degree in music. She then attended Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Mich., earning her BA in art and pottery. Peggy was united in marriage to Hugh Stier in September 1950 at Queen of Angels Catholic Church in Austin. They had eight children: Melissa, Daniel, Matthew, Peter, Nicholas, Ann, Katherine and Suzanne. Peggy was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Hugh of 61 years and her sister, Paula Stier. Peggy is survived by her eight children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, too numerous to mention.
Peggy enjoyed teaching art and music lessons to her grandchildren.
She is part of our lives and will inspire us forever.
