Peggy Greenbaum Mazur, age 88, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2021.
She was born in Nashville on September 30, 1933, the daughter of the late Adolph and Betty.
Peggy was the beloved wife of Alvin (deceased) for 61 years, the dear mother of Alicia (Brian) Berg of Chicago, and the cherished sister of Ralph and Harold (deceased).
After graduating from Howard High School and the University of Tennessee, Peggy had a long and gratifying career teaching elementary school starting at Case School in Akron, OH, then at Head and Park Avenue elementary schools in Nashville.
After retiring, Peggy dedicated much of her time and energy to volunteering at the St. Thomas Hospital gift shop and the Nashville Public Library. Peggy lived a life filled with family who she treated with her famous homemade pies, cakes, and cookies. She was an avid reader of mysteries and Mahjong player, and an occasional bingo player at Mary Queen of Angels where she was lovingly cared for in her final years.
