Bio
AURORA - Peggy Lee "Peg" Dittmer, 80, of Aurora, formerly of Clarks, died Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2012, at Hamilton Manor in Aurora. Services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday at the chapel of Solt Funeral Home in Central City, with Sister Mary Arie officiating. Burial will be in the Clarks Cemetery. Mrs. Dittmer was born Jan. 5, 1932, in Omaha to Russell B. and Doris W. (Stege) Lane. Those left to cherish her memory are her husband of 60 years, Lester of Aurora; three children and spouses, Lee J. and Jolene Dittmer, Tad and Roxanne Dittmer, all of Clarks, and Doe Dee Dittmer of Aurora; two sisters and brothers-in-law, Jerry and Hub Schumacher Red Bluff, Calif., and Judy and Burt Brazee of Columbus. Also surviving are eight grandchildren, Brendan and Natalie Dittmer, Tamara and Jayme Hans, Carlee and Jason Connot, Dage Detter, Preston Detter, Sierra Dittmer, Shelbi Dittmer, and Bo Dittmer; six great-grandchildren, Ella Claire Dittmer, Ayden, Kyler, and Taya Hans, Jaycee Connot and Colby Detter; and nieces and nephews. The family lived in Washington, Omaha where Peggy attended Omaha Tech High School, and in Columbus where Peggy graduated from Kramer High School in 1950. While in high school, Peggy was president of the pep club and she taught tap dance and ballet. On April 14, 1952, Peggy was united in marriage to Lester L. Dittmer at the Episcopal Church in Columbus. They lived in Colorado and Kansas while Lester was in the service. In 1953, they returned to Nebraska and lived in Clarks before moving to the farm south of Clarks. In 2009, they moved to Aurora. Peggy was raised in the Episcopal Church and then raised her family in the United Methodist Church in Clarks. She taught dance and jazzercise; and for 24 years, Peggy and her sister, Judy Brazee, managed the Clarks swimming pool and taught swimming lessons to children in the area. Peggy loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She grew up around the water and spent countless hours swimming and she especially enjoyed spending time at her parent's cabin on Wagner Lake near Columbus. Peg also enjoyed roller skating, ice skating, and painting scenes on buildings. Each and every person that Peggy knew, she loved and valued; and she always cheered for the underdog. Peggy was preceded in death by her parents. Published in The Grand Island Independent on October 4, 2012
