Peggy Ann Winkle (76) passed away
on August 30, 2025, in her home in Milwaukie, OR. She was born on May 15, 1949,
in Kellogg, ID. Her parents, Lawrence and Beula
(Snyder) Richardson, preceded her in death.
She is survived by her loving husband, Michael Winkle; her siblings,
Gloria Vanderzanden (Richardson) and Larry Richardson; her children, Lynn
Winkle and Stephen Winkle, and their spouses, Mark Stauffer and Victoria,
respectively; her nephews and nieces; her granddaughters and grandnieces; and
her cat Bluebelle.
After her family moved from Idaho,
Peggy graduated from Sunset High School in 1970 and then attended Portland
State University. She married Mike in
1973 and raised their children in SE Portland.
In 1980, Peggy started an entertainment booking agency to represent Mike’s
band. This proved to be her niche as she
eventually represented over 600 entertainment options for special events throughout
the PNW. She was well respected by both
clients and entertainers for her professionalism and care.
A celebration
of life will be held at Southlake Church, 1555 SW Borland
