Biography: Peggy Lopez Adams was 36 0n May, 27, 2007. Although she left this life on June 8, 2007, following a two-and-a half year battle with cancer, her spirit will remain with us forever. She is survived by her husband, Steve, daughters Chloe, 11, Simone, 9; and son Loic, 5. All three children were home schooled by Peggy. She was preceded by her father, Edwin Lopez, of Orlando, Florida. Additional survivors are her mother, Elba Lopez, and the families of her sister, Maxi, and brothers Edwin, Steven, and Clyde and 15 nieces and nephews, all of Orlando; and her mother and father in-law, Gay and Tom Adams and brothers-in-law Jason and Bryan Adams. She leaves countless friends, many admirers, and many more who, when reminded of her, will warmly recall their vivid first impressions of a tough, beautiful woman who never suffered fools. Though it’s too often said of others, it was indeed true that Peggy transformed the room just by being in it. Her energy and charm were infectious; they sweetened a strength of character driven by a stubborn honesty. It was easy to envy Peggy. She kept her whole family on their toes and had the respect of everyone she knew, whether she intimidated them or loved them or both. Peggy will be missed, and she will be celebrated. A memorial service will be held at Pulaski Heights Methodist Church on Thursday June 14th at 1:00 p.m. under the direction of Ruebel Funeral Home, www.ruebelfuneralhome.com. A celebration of her life will be held for all the following Sunday.
