Peggy Jean was born June 17, 1929, in Capron, Oklahoma, to Isaac Preston and Marguerite Elizabeth (Craig) Julian. She graduated from Enid High School and went on to receive a degree in Home Economics from Oklahoma State University. Her passion for education continued as she pursued Early Childhood Development Certification at Oklahoma City University.

Peggy Jean made a lasting impact in her community as the founder of the Kindergarten Program at North Enid Schools. A dedicated educator, she believed in the power of a good education for all and was incredibly proud of the fact that all of her children earned college degrees.

A strong and independent single mother, Peggy Jean's love for her family was boundless. She raised her three children-Karen, Susan, and Glen-with unwavering support, always encouraging them to reach for their goals. Peggy Jean was a proud member of HEC (Home and Community Education Organization), and in her free time, she found joy in quilting, a craft she cherished.

She is survived by her children: Karen Stegman and spouse Allen Stegman; her children, Tabitha, Allison, Katherine; seven great-grandchildren, Hunter, Wyatt, Adrian, Mackenzie, Braxton, Olivia, Madison. Susan Anderson, and Glen Julian, and his children Paige and Ethan; five great-grandchildren Ariel, Benjamin, Callie, Jamison; and her beloved dog, Roxie.

She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Dale Pembleton; and brother Calvin Lee Julian.
