Peggy L. Lundine

Peggy Lynn (Herrmann) Lundine, 69, entered this world on January 7, 1955, in Colony, Kansas, and passed away peacefully surrounded by her daughters and loved ones on August 24, 2024, in Kansas City, Missouri. She was the daughter of Lawrence and Betty (Evans) Herrmann. She had an amazingly happy childhood and attended Crest schools in Kincaid, KS. She attended the Kincaid Methodist Church for many years with her grandmother, Besse Evans, as her Sunday School teacher.

In 1970, she gave birth to a baby boy and relinquished him to a loving family. In 1989, Peggy was reunited with her son, Arden Koehn, and continued a warm relationship with him and his family.

Peggy later married Arden’s father and gave birth to two daughters, Becky and Sarah. That marriage later ended in divorce. She then met and married the love of her life, Eugene “Crab” Lundine in July 1982 and spent 40 happy years together until his death in 2023.

1992 brought another change to the family landscape when they adopted a four-year-old daughter, Jesse.

Peggy worked in Iola, KS for 15 years for H.L. Miller and Son and then retired from Gates Rubber Company after 25 years. She volunteered for Hope Unlimited and served on the Humboldt City Council.

Family was always the focus in Peggy’s life from her grandparents down to her great-grandsons. Nothing meant more to her!
