Margaret “Peggy” Christine Lowenstein

October 21, 1942 - December 15, 2021

Peggy loved caring for people and helping others and she studied to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse. She spent several years working in hospitals and later transitioned to home nursing, and she found it very rewarding to provide exceptional care for her patients.

She married LeRoy Lowenstein on February 24th, 1968, in Redwood City California. They settled in San Mateo California and raised 2 sons, Karl and Kevin. In her personal and professional lives, she put other people’s needs before her own, and developed deep bonds with people wherever she went.

Peggy had many interests including crocheting, and it was a joy for her to create and donate many beautiful scarves and blankets to Veterans, through her participation in the Federated Woman’s Club of San Carlos. She also had wonderful adventures as a member of the Red Hat Society and was a proud member of the Sassy Red Hatters of San Mateo.

She loved family and enjoyed spending time with them anytime she could. She would also make quick friends with neighbors, many of which she maintained close personal relationships with over the years.

Peggy was a beloved grandmother to her 5 grandchildren, Keilani, Bradley, Brian, Sydney and Sawyer. The grandkids cherished the time they spent with their grandma at get togethers and on special family vacations which she lovingly arranged to keep the family close.

Memorial Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, January 7th, 2021, at Sunset View Cemetery in El Cerrito California.

I'm harrt broke to learn that peg passed away. I spoke to her in 2019 I think it was and she told me she was I'll and I better come and see her. I never made it. I'm sure she is with Leroy and my mom Carol bell and all the others we lost to soon. I'll share a story when I was young we moved from Millbrae CA to San Mateo into the Hillsdale garden apartments. We hadn't been there long and we had some family over. When that happened my dad and uncles and aunts could play guitars and sing classic country songs. That night they played a song called beautiful brown eyes at least ten times. The song goes beautiful beautiful brown eyes beautiful beautiful brown eyes beautiful beautiful brown eyes I'll never Love blue eyes again that's the opening, well the next morning I woke up to Peggy out front of her place singing beautiful beautiful bullshit. I loved her from that day forward. Karl and Kevin and I became great friends and I've tried to stay in touch over the years. In fact my grandson, Everett shares the same birthday as Karl 8/13 I thought that was really special. Karl and Kevin and all the lowenstein family, my deepest condolences !!!! I'm harrt broke for your loss. 279-279-0551 I'd love to hear from you two any time I live in Sacramento. Take care and God bless !!!!! R.i.p Peggy Buddy bell loves you to the moon and back.

Aunt Peggy was a truly sweet lady. I had the pleasure of knowing her thru my son Matthew and the earlier years being with Arnie. I hope she is flying high with Leroy and Arnold and Gramma Lowenstein. God bless her and her boys and the rest of the family. My deepest sympathies. Luv, Marji Fields (Matthews mom)

Very sorry for your loss. Cousin Peggy was such a wonderful person...Rocky

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

I love you so much Aunt Peggy. I will miss you until we see each other again in Heaven. My heart breaks for you Karl and Kevin and your families. Your Mom was a special person.

Peggy was a wonderful person and great lady. We did get a chance to talk in October, we had a good chat and her and my mom were able to talk too, so that is great to know they both got to say something to each other before they both left us. Hopefully they are both in heaven having fun together. Godspeed Peggy.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
