Margaret E. "Peggy" Didrick, 76, of Fort Wayne passed away Friday, September 29, 2023 at Parkview-DeKalb Hospital. She was born February 15, 1947, in Angola, IN to the late Keith and Loretta (Wood) Taylor.

A former nurse and long-time member of St. Jude Catholic Church in Fort Wayne, Peggy was devout in her faith and tirelessly put the needs of others above her own. Raising five children was her priority in life, and she still made time for baking and gardening, as well as dancing at family functions. Fun-loving and outgoing, people were drawn to Peggy. Her genuine, lively laugh lifted spirits and warmed hearts. To Peggy, gathering with loved ones was a true gift, one she never took for granted. She especially cherished time spent with her two young granddaughters. To her family and friends, Peggy was the gift. Her abiding love, empathy, humility and grace will forever be a source of inspiration to the many souls she touched, who truly admired her as the most selfless person they knew.

Peggy is survived by her children: Paula Didrick of Indianapolis, IN, Brian Didrick of Fort Wayne, IN, Jennifer (Chris) Napier of Auburn, IN, Cory (Andy) Didrick-Pitts of Palm Springs, CA, and Nora (Brent) Foster of Westfield, IN; granddaughters Indy and Addy Foster; brother Jim (Peggy) Taylor of Carmel, IN and sister, Noni (Lonnie) Price of Nashville, IN. She was preceded in death by her parents; sisters, Ann Hamilton and Sue Evans; and her grandson, Cade Foster.
