Peggy Louise Johnson Eden, a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and kindness.
Born in Roberts, Idaho, to Kyle and Elsie Johnson, Peggy grew up surrounded by family, forming lifelong bonds with her sisters and cousins. A gifted athlete, she excelled in track and field and softball before attending business school in Pocatello, where she met the love of her life, Robert “Bob” Eden. They married in 1954 and built a beautiful life together, raising their two cherished children, Kyle and Heidi.
Peggy’s heart was her family. She embraced motherhood with joy, filling her home with warmth, laughter, and home-cooked meals. She poured her energy into her children’s activities, from scouting to skiing, always encouraging them to embrace adventure. She was a talented seamstress, an incredible cook, and a gracious host, welcoming friends and family with open arms.
A woman of deep faith, Peggy was an active member of Hope Lutheran Church in Idaho Falls and later Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in Boise. She found strength in her faith and community, serving through Sunday school and the LWML.
In retirement, Peggy’s greatest joy was her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she adored beyond measure. She spent countless hours showering them with love, sharing stories, and creating cherished memories.
Peggy’s kindness, resilience, and unwavering devotion to those she loved will be deeply missed but forever remembered. Her family finds comfort knowing she is reunited with her beloved Bob, her dear sister Joyce, and those who went before her.
