Peggy (Grimm) Frey, 79

October 10, 2022

Peggy (Grimm) Frey, 79, of Lancaster, passed away at her home, October 10, 2022. Born and raised in Lancaster she was the daughter of the late Victoria E. (Victor) and Ray S. Grimm, Sr. She shared over 45 years with her husband, Gerald Frey.

She was a stranger to no one and had a knack for starting conversation with anyone. To say she was friendly was an understatement. Her favorite topic was sharing memories of her children and grandchildren. Her world revolved around her family. Affectionately known as “Nana Peggy”, “Grammy” or “GG”, the grandchildren and great-grandchildren shared fond memories with her making gingerbread houses and painting Easter eggs. Many will also remember Peggy for her love of flamingos, her flower garden and antiquing with her husband.

Her love will live on in her husband, Gerald; children: Teresa, wife of the late William Kurau of Lampeter, Charlene, wife of Edmund Kachnoski Jr. of Willow Street, Gerald Frey, husband of Ginni of Phoenixville, Tom Theis, companion of Judi Wilhelm of Strasburg, Victoria, wife of Larry Mellott of Strasburg, and Steven Theis of Lancaster; a brother, Dennis Grimm of Lancaster; 10 grandchildren and 24 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in passing by her siblings: Ray Grimm, Jr., Brenda McDonald, and Linda McDonald; as well as Daniel Mellott, a grandson who passed in March of this year.

The family welcomes guests from 10 -11 AM at the Charles F. Snyder III Funeral Home & Crematory, 2421 Willow Street Pike, Willow Street, PA 17584, on Tues. Oct. 18, 2022. A Funeral Service will follow at 11 AM. Interment to take place at Grace United Methodist Church Cemetery, Millersville. Memorial contributions in Peggy’s name may be made to Dementia Society of America, PO Box 600, Doylestown, PA 18901

My deepest sympathies to Peggy’s family. I can only imagine the loss that her family and close friends are feeling. I only knew her through Alice’s diner and I feel a great loss.  She always had a sparkle in her eye and a smile on her face. She will be missed greatly by many.
