Peggy Lee Robertson passed away on October 11, 2026, at Snyder Village Care Facility on Metamora, IL. 

Peggy moved from Mt. Prospect, IL, where she resided for most of her life, to the Central Illinois area, to be near family. Peggy was born in Chicago to Lenore (Villani) and RL Robertson on March 15, 1944. She was the third of six children that comprised the Robertson family. 

Peggy attended Prospect High School, Elmhurst College, and graduated with an elementary education degree from Northern Illinois University. She went on to complete her master’s in education at the University of Illinois. Peggy taught school for over thirty years in Arlington Heights, IL, including Westgate, Greenbrier, and lastly at Olive-Mary Stitt. Peggy was fun-loving, calm, creative, and had a special caring way with challenging students. She also loved animals, especially cats, and cared for many throughout her life. She was a wonderful aunt, friend, and teacher.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her niece Regan Robertson of Tulsa, OK, and lifelong companion Tom Wisnewski of Palatine, IL. Peggy is survived by her three sisters Carole (Edward) Saad of Peoria, IL, Janet (Michael) Grimes of Needham, MA, Sandy (JP) Lundgren of Charlotte, NC, and her two brothers Richard Robertson of Tulsa, OK, and Gregory Robertson of Newport Beach, CA. Peggy also leaves behind a dear friend and former colleague, Carol Wallman, who faithfully remained in touch with Peggy and her family through cards, texts, and phone calls.

The family would like to acknowledge and thank Snyder Village Coordinator, Jessica Byer, and the entire staff for the excellent care provided for Peggy over the past two and a half years.

To honor Peggy’s wishes cremation rites will be accorded by Deiters Funeral Home and Crematory in Washington. A private inurnment will take place at All Saints Cemetery in Des Plaines, IL at a later date.
