Margaret Pearl “Peggy” Grulke
Margaret Pearl “Peggy” Grulke entered the arms of her loving Savior June 21, 2021 following a long, courageous battle with blood cancer.
She was born to George and Iva (Kortman) Baker January 4, 1936 in Detroit.
On November 1, 1958 she married Carl Grulke. Affectionately known as “Peggy” to all who knew her, she was best known as a nurturer, always taking care of others, and she and Carl opened their hearts and home to 25 foster children over the years, as well as the six children of their own. Peggy was also known for her amazing cooking and baking skills which she thankfully passed on to her children. Even though her family is heartbroken over her death, they are relieved that she is no longer in pain and know she will still help guide them throughout their lives here on Earth.
Peggy is survived by her husband of 62 years, Carl; six children, Steven of Rogers City, Cathy of Rogers City, Rick (Terri) of Sun City, Arizona, Alan of Rogers City, Lori of Rogers City and Peggy Sue (Larry) Schaudt of Rogers City; 14 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; a great-great-granddaughter; a sis
She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Iva; a brother, Marlin Baker; a sister, Norma (Eugene) Buczkowski; a brother-in-law, Howard Wright; and a sister-in-law, Joan Baker.
Peggy had made arrangements though Beck Funeral Home to donate her body to science and will be transported to the University of Michigan. Per her wishes, no services are planned at this time.
