Peggy Lynn (Campbell) Durrwachter was born in Dallas on September 18, 1948 and passed away peacefully on March 22, 2017 in Frisco, Texas from complications from Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD). Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Earl Franklin Campbell and Helen (Gary) Campbell of Duncanville. She is survived by her husband of 47 years, Henry L. Durrwachter III, son Douglas Lane Durrwachter and his wife, Shelly of Keller, Texas and daughter Sheri Lynn (Durrwachter) Salvador and her husband Pat Salvador of McKinney, Texas as well as grandchildren Julie Ann (Durrwachter) Price and her husband Andrew Price of Irving, Texas, grandsons Joshua Tanner Durrwachter, Alex Ryan Salvador and Reid Campbell Salvador. She is also survived by her sister Diane West and her husband Jerry West of Waxahachie, Texas and her sister, Kathy Campbell of Dallas and a host of cousins, nieces and nephews.

Peggy was a graduate of Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas. She attended Dallas Baptist University for two years majoring in music and education. She then went to work full-time at a bank to help put her husband Henry through college. She continued to work in the banking industry until the children were born. Peggy loved her family and was devoted to her husband and children. She served as Girl Scout leader, room mother, soccer mom and chauffer for the children’s sports. Once the children were in school, she began volunteering at their school as a library aide. This turned into a ten-year career as an office aide at a local elementary school. After the children graduated from college, Peggy retired to help take care of the grandchildren.

Peggy loved church music, horseback riding, traveling to America’s national parks and her extended family. She attended countless baseball, soccer and basketball games, cheering for her kids and grandkids for over 40 years. She accepted Christ as her personal savior at the age of 9 at the First Baptist Church of Duncanville. She was a life-long Baptist and was a member at First McKinney Baptist Church at the time of her passing. She taught pre-school and kindergarten Sunday School classes for over 30 years at the various churches where she was a member. She loved working with young children and teaching them about the Bible.

The family would like to thank the Executive Director, Mary Poole, and the entire staff at the Cottages of Chapel Creek for their tender, loving care of Peggy during her stay at their facility and to the wonderful caregivers at Total Hospice & Palliative Care (THPC).

A funeral service for Peggy will be held on Monday, March 27 at the Crosspoint Church, 2101 S. Stonebridge Drive, McKinney, Texas. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations in Peggy’s name be made to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD), Radnor Station Building 2, Suite 320, 290 King of Prussia Road, Radnor, PA 19087 or to the Children’s Ministry at First McKinney Baptist Church, 1615 W.
