Peggy Ann (Gottschall) Proctor, 90, of Waynetown, passed away at 8:15 PM Friday October 21, 2022 in Bickford Memory Care, Crawfordsville due to complications from Alzheimer's disease. The family would like to genuinely thank the staff there for making Bickford a comfortable home for her last few years.  She was born February 17, 1932 in Crawfordsville, the daughter of the late Ralph and Alpha McKee Gottschall.

Peggy was first married to Jimmy Reiter and they had 5 children: Tim Reiter (Brigitte) Manchester Maryland, Curtis Reiter (Maureen) Jacksonville Florida, Leslee Reiter Asheville North Carolina, Melissa Cooper (Stephen) Grand Rapids Michigan, Matthew Reiter (Cheryl) Bloomington Indiana. They later divorced. There are 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

Peggy was then married to Samuel O. Mullen, Sr. and they had one child: Samuel Mullen (Ronda) of Kansas City, Kansas. There are 2 grandchildren. Sam Sr. died in 1988.

Peggy married Donald Proctor June 15, 1991 and he survives. For the next 30+ years, Peg was an important part of Don's children's lives. They are: Diana (Mike) Still of Peru, Steven (Sandy) Proctor of Waynetown, Janet (Pat) Fay of Waynetown, Carol (Jim) Pattison of Warsaw, Stanley (Janice) Proctor of Deltona, FL, and Suzanne (Mike) Howell—both deceased and Suzanne's 2nd husband, Chris Turcich, along with 12 grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren.

Peggy was a graduate of Wabash High School.  Peggy had a varied and interesting life, first as a wife and mother, then as a medical secretary for Drs. Haller and Viray. Catching the entrepreneurial spirit, she utilized her knitting, sewing and organizational talents and opened her yarn and quilting retail store, Spin-a-Yarn, which was a vital part of the Crawfordsville businesses for about 20 years.

Peggy was a devout Bible study student and shared her many talents by giving time, money and effort to such organizations as the Child in Need of Services, Meals on Wheels, church projects, the Crawfordsville Public Library; and by offering her services for genealogy research. She and Don authored a Waynetown Newsletter for several years.

Peggy is preceded in death by her parents, Ralph and Alpha Gottschall, two sisters Vee Hopkins and Jan Featherston, two husbands, Jimmie G. Reiter and Samuel O. Mullen and a step-daughter Suzanne Proctor Howell Turcich.
