1927 - 2017
Obituary
Natalie Heine Peregoy of Newton passed
away on Sunday (Nov. 26, 2017).
Natalie was born on March 16, 1927, in
Bemidji, Minnesota, to the Rev. Martin and Frederica Heine. She grew
up in Hibbing, Minnesota, where her father was the Pastor of Grace
Lutheran Church.
Natalie graduated with an RHD degree
from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry in 1948. She
practiced in Austin, Minnesota; Des Moines, Iowa; Bethesda, Maryland;
and Denver.
Natalie married Jack Peregoy on New
Year's Eve 1949, with her father officiating at their marriage. Due
to her husband's career, moves became necessary. They enjoyed making
lifetime friends and homes in Des Moines, Louisville, Kentucky,
Bethesda and Denver. Retirement took them to Rancho Bernardo,
California, for 17 years, but family ties brought them to St. Louis
and a final move to Newton.
Natalie enjoyed seeing the world with
her husband. They traveled to all 50 states, Mexico, Canada, and more
than 50 overseas countries. They both greatly enjoyed snow skiing,
which they had the opportunity to do in the Austrian Alps, as well as
on many North American mountain slopes.
Natalie was a spark plug of civic
activity in all the communities where she lived. As President of the
Meadow Heights Women's Club, she moved the City of Louisville to use
city funds for a community library. During her years in Denver, she
was Director of Volunteers for a large area served by the Denver Red
Cross. She served as a Hospice visitation volunteer with several
communities. She was heavily involved as a key volunteer in all of
the churches in her lifetime.
Her recent activities involved being a
member of the board representing the residents of the Presbyterian
Manor Senior Community in Newton and as the director of the church's
feeding program for the homeless in Newton.
She is survived by her husband, Jack;
brothers, Paul and Herman Heine; her son, Spencer (Rhonda) Peregoy;
and daughter, Kathy (Don) Beverlin. Their family is blessed with six
grandchildren: Nathan (Jacqui) Peregoy, Jessica (Joel) McClenahan,
Sarah (Andrew) Walquist, Anne (Loren) Kurtz, Matthew (Rachel)
Beverlin and Owen Beverlin; and 14 great-grandchildren.
Natalie is preceded in death by her
parents; sister, Helene; and brother, Fred.
