Margaret Theresa Holland

Margaret Theresa Holland

Margaret Theresa Holland, better known as Peggy, was born January 14th, 1953 in her hometown Butte MT to Dan and Stella Holland. She was the second oldest of 5 siblings who grew up on Waukesha. From the beginning to her end, a social butterfly who brought a light with her every place she went and will always be remembered for her contagious smile, a good joke, kind words and a sense of humor during the hardest of times, and most of all her strength.

Peggy attended school in Butte, later graduated HS and attended MT Tech. She kept many friendships throughout her life that she gained during those years, as well as later while working in banking and with the State of MT. Peg left Montana to spend time in California, and she would often recall it to be one of the best times in her life. She left a part of her heart there, for all whom she loved so dearly. Peggy had many hobbies throughout life including cross country skiing, cooking, traveling, and going to basketball games. Any place that allowed her to be around others and with her love for kids she would always find a baby to hold or child to make laugh whether in a stadium or a mall.

With her infectious passion for helping others whether she was in a small town or a big city, she drew people to her love and light. Peggy was in her 39th year of sobriety this year, and her true love and commitment was giving her time, energy and fellowship to new comers and old timers within her recovery community.

Peggy was a friend of Bill W. and if you were as well, she wanted to be a supportive contact in your life.

Peggy volunteered for the American Red Cross, helped with the Foundation of Our Lady of the Rockies, and looked for community gatherings that she could give a piece of herself to.

Peg was often the force that drove togetherness, keeping people in contact with one another and eagerly anticipating the next social event.

Peggy was a loving daughter, sister, godmother, auntie, Mom, nana, friend, and sponsor.

She is survived by her daughter, Stephany (Daniel); sisters Danette (Bill) Sprinkle and Marlene (Bob) Murdo; brothers Joe Holland and Brother Pat (Karen) Holland; granddaughter, Hannah; grandson, Carter; nieces and nephews, Erin, Danny, Lacey (Mark), Shauna, Sabrina (Charlie), Dylan, Alycia (Jaison), Bryan and Danny; great nieces and nephews, Will, Stella, Joseph, Matthew, Margaret, Andrew and Luke, Grace, Braylon, Mila and Emery; and countless cousins and special friends and her very own earth angels, Robert Caldwell and Dana Hillyer.
