Margaret (Peggy) Mettalia 92
Our beloved Peggy of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, passed away Jan. 22, 2025. Born in New York and adopted by loving parents Alice and Herbert Theis.
She married the love of her life, Robert J. (Bob) Mettalia, on Sept. 25, 1977. He preceded her in death, and her special sister-in-law, Maryann Buckley, also preceded her in death.
Peggy enjoyed skiing from New England to Sandpoint, Idaho, well up into her 70s. She was an avid golfer and enjoyed her friends at the Avondale Golf Club with the Ladies' 9- and 18-hole group. She also enjoyed her friends on her bowling team (Remix) until she was 90. She loved her trips to Women of Faith Conferences all over the country with Nancy Adam and Maryann Buckley. I guess you could say she enjoyed life. Peg touched many people near and far and was always there for those in need. She will be so missed by those who knew her.
She is survived by bonus daughters Jane McDonald, Nancy Adam (Noel) and Gina Mettalia (Bart), bonus granddaughter Marie Kuyper (Mike) and bonus grandson Robert Potratz (Chrissy). Brothers-in-law Joe Mettalia (Joyce) and Tom Buckley, foster brothers Barry Batcheller (Jullien) and Ed Stavola (Sherri), and many nieces, nephews, and friends.
The family would like to thank Guardian Angels in Post Falls for the excellent care they gave to our beloved Peggy and also Hospice of North Idaho. At Peggy's request, there will be no memorial service or funeral.
