Obituary
Evelyn Margaret “Peg” Greenlee, 95 of Charleston WV, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on February 1, 2022. Peg was born in Jonesville, MI on February 5th, 1926.
Peg was a 1947 graduate of Michigan State University (where she met Joe Greenlee) and became a teacher of Home Economics. In 1949, she married Joe and in 1951 they moved to Charleston WV. Peg taught kindergarten in Charleston at the Baptist Temple preschool for 10 years, as well as working with “Keep A Child in School” (12 yrs.), “Meals on Wheels” (15 yrs.), and serving as Baptist Temple church hostess for 30 years in charge of all meal services. She was also active in the American Baptist Women’s groups serving in many different capacities including Circle leader.
Over the years, Peg and Joe have enjoyed ballroom dancing, skiing, white water rafting, extensive traveling and their log home on the Greenbrier River in Pocahontas County. Peg loved her family, friends and gardening, but nothing came before her faith and love for God. She has always been a wonderful example to others in doing God’s work.
Peg was preceded in death by her parents, Donald & Marian Espie; sons, Steven and Ronald Greenlee; and a sister-in-law Betty Warner and many friends.
Peg is survived by her loving husband of 72 years, Joe W Greenlee, niece Connie Warner (Dr Alan Carroll), nephews, Brent Warner (Cris Doria), and Tim Warner (Barbara); close friends, Kathy Lester, Donna & Bob Hoff, Archie & Linda Snedegar, Carolyn & Frank McCarty, Charlotte Sahley of Charleston WV, Frank & Teresa Miller of Washington WV, and many others. She is loved by all.

Joe—ZHANNA and I are deeply saddened to learn of Peg’s passing. Your grief must be profound, but trust in your faith in God and the everlasting life that you will be reunited with Peg and your sons. We are grateful to have be blessed to have shared time with you and Peg, and especially at you cabin retreat, and to have had our lives enriched with your and Peg’s storytelling of your lives together, of you memories of climbing to the top of the hill above your cabin in the evening and watching the sunsets and the stars. Your fond and cherished memories like those will carry you forward Joe until it is your turn to transition from your earthly life to the eternal life that God has promised to his faithful.
Should you need us for any purpose, please feel free to just ask. Sadly, we will be unable to attend Peg’s service as I (Matthew) contracted COVID-19 two weeks ago and, while I believe myself to no longer be contagious and am recovering, I believe it best not to risk exposing anyone on the chance there might be that remote possibility. We will pray for you Joe and for the repose of Peg’s soul.

Joe, we are very sorry to learn of Peg’s passing. The 72 year marriage, mutual love, closeness were an inspiration to us all. We know how much she meant to you and many others. We are thinking of you in this time of sorrow.
