WIFALL, PEGGY October 10, 1942 - December 12, 2014 Peggy Wifall, age 72, of Albuquerque, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday with her family by her side. She was born in Williston, ND to Robert and Theo Foster. She received a BS in Chemistry from North Dakota State University in 1964. She married James Wifall in 1964, and they lived together in Ohio and Germany before settling in Albuquerque. They celebrated their 50th anniversary this year. Her trust in Jesus Christ carried her through all the trials of her life. Peggy always had an optimistic view of life even in the most challenging times. She loved to help others personally and by her dedication to volunteering in her church community, teaching Sunday school, and creating beautiful craft items to comfort the sick and help charity. She loved to cook and bake for her family and spend time with her many friends. She enjoyed quilting, particularly demonstrating quilting at the Western Minnesota Steam Thresher's Reunion. Above all, she loved her family and especially enjoyed spending time with her four grandchildren. Peggy will be missed by her husband James Wifall; her three children Diana Pelowitz (Jason), of Rio Rancho, Richard Wifall (Heather), of Seattle, and Michael Wifall (Jessica), of Tucson; her brothers Jack Foster (Billie) of Garberville, CA, and Sanford Foster (Pat) of Spokane; and her sister Pat Foster of Apache Junction.
