February 23, 1946 April 26, 2025 Tularosa, New Mexico
 Peggy Lee Anderson, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and treasured member of the Tularosa community, passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 26, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. A woman of deep faith and unwavering devotion to her loved ones, Peggy’s warmth, joy, and kindness left a lasting impression on everyone she met.
 Born on February 23, 1946, in Hobbs, New Mexico, to Peggy Malone Sr. and Bill Malone, Peggy grew up with strong roots and an even stronger spirit. At a young age, she met the love of her life, Glen Anderson. Their love story began in Artesia, NM, when Peggy spotted Glen cruising Main Street in his 1958 purple Chevy. When he stopped at a light, she jumped into the passenger seat and as she fondly recalled, “I never got out.” That spontaneous moment sparked 62 beautiful years of marriage filled with love, laughter, and an unshakable bond.
 Together, Peggy and Glen built a life in Tularosa centered on family, faith, and service. Peggy was passionate about helping others and worked with Primerica Financial Services, where she educated people on the importance of saving and financial wellness. Her commitment to service extended well beyond her career. She was an active member of New Heart Cowboy Church in Alamogordo, NM, and contributed her time and energy to many local organizations, including the Tularosa Rotary Club, CowBelles, Beta Sigma Phi sorority, and the local 4-H program. She also mentored youth, always ready with encouragement and a helping hand.
 Peggy embraced life fully. She found joy in traveling, fishing, dancing, live music, and her cherished weekly “date days” at the casino with Glen. Known affectionately as Junie, Memo, or Mamacita, Peggy will be remembered for her radiant smile, generous heart, and fun-loving spirit. She had a way of making everyone feel like family offering love and support without hesitation.
 She is survived by her devoted husband, Glen Anderson; daughters Trey Lilly and Varsi Martin (Pat); grandchildren Seth Lilly (Taylor), Seren Derrick (Jeremiah), Christen Kalisek (PJ), and Bryce Martin; and nine great-grandchildren who brought her immense joy. She also leaves behind her siblings Fred Malone (Jackie), Ron Malone (Brenda), and Bobbie Ann Cortese (Knox).
 Peggy was preceded in death by her mother, Peggy Bell, and her beloved grandson, Ethen Lilly.
 A lifelong resident of Tularosa, Peggy’s legacy of love, compassion, and community spirit will live on in the hearts of all who were blessed to know her. She reminded us all to live with open hearts, to treasure our time together, and to love without limits.
 A memorial service will be held at New Heart Cowboy Church, 1311 Galway, Alamogordo, NM, on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., with Pastor Mike Cannon officiating.
 In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made in Peggy’s memory to: Assurance Home 1000 E. 18th Street Roswell, NM 88201
