Peggy L Rader

Peggy L. Rader, age 81, passed away peacefully at home on January 18, 2026, surrounded by the family she loved so deeply. She was the devoted wife of Roger Rader for 56 years, a partnership built on love, loyalty, and countless shared memories.

Peggy’s greatest pride was her family. She was a loving mother to her sons, Mark (Sheila) Rader and Matt (Mary) Rader, and a deeply proud grandmother to Mark (Caylee) Rader, Mikayla Rader, Michael Rader, and Lexi Rader. Her heart grew even fuller as a great-grandmother to Aidyn Rader and Brooks Rader, who brought her endless smiles and joy.

If you knew Peggy, you knew she showed her love by showing up. She never missed a game, a match, or a moment—first for her sons and later for her grandchildren. Camping trips with family, especially when the grandkids were there, were some of her happiest times, filled with laughter, stories, and togetherness. Peggy also had many talents—she was a talented hairdresser, an avid bowler, and a dominant softball pitcher, known for both her competitive spirit and her determination.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Manuella Kinser; her sister, Phyllis Foor; and her brother, Wendell Kinser. She is survived by her brother, Dave (Sam) Kinser, as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends who will miss her dearly.

Peggy will be remembered for her strength, her kindness, her unwavering support, and the way she made everyone around her feel loved. Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished and the memories that will be held close forever.
