Peggy Annette Stork

Peggy Annette Stork (aged 86 years), passed away on November 1, 2025 at
Centennial Hospital in Las Vegas, NV from rheumatoid arthritis that affected her
lungs, congestive heart failure and pneumonia. Family and friends were present.
She was born on October 4, 1939 in Atlanta, GA to George Bailey Calhoun and
Mary Avalene Karr (Calhoun, Mendelson) at Grady Hospital. She loved her High
School experience, including being a Varsity Cheerleader. She met James L.
Stork, I in Atlanta, GA in 1955. After a 6-week whirlwind romance, they were
married at Inez and Robin Geurin’s house in Canton, GA on December 31, 1955 at
9pm. Jim always said he married her on that date and time “so he could deduct her
from his taxes for the whole year.”

After their marriage they relocated to San Antonio, TX where Jim was stationed
while serving in the Air Force. She loved living the military life. Their first child,
Dawn was born in late 1956 during their stay in San Antonio. They then returned
to Canton, GA where their second child, Eve was born in the Spring of 1958. In
October 1958, they relocated to the Denver area. Their third child (and only son),
James L. Stork, II was born in late 1959.

She was a mother and homemaker for many years while raising their three
children. When she returned to the workforce, she primarily worked as a Tax
Clerk in Arapahoe County and Jefferson County. When Jim retired, they relocated
to Las Vegas, NV in 1992.

She had a love of education. She was well read and prolific in historical facts and
stories. When her children were older, she returned to Arapahoe Community
College in Littleton, CO where she received her Associate of Arts Degree. She
loved her children and was so excited when her grandchildren and great
grandchildren were born. She loved being Grams to all of them. She felt so
fortunate to be able to be involved in their lives. Her children definitely hit “the
Mom lottery” when they were born.

She is survived by her children; Sharon “Dawn” Fitzpatrick (Roger) of West Point,
UT, Sherry “Eve” Stork (Dave, deceased) of Las Vegas, NV and James L. Stork, II
(Ruth) of Bejuco, Panama; her grandchildren, Shannon (Chris) Anderson, Brian
(Milda) Fitzpatrick, Brady Fitzpatrick and step-grandson Anthony Donkel
(Natasha); and her great-grandchildren, Karsten (Matalyn) Anderson, Parker
Anderson (Fiancee Emma Counter), Cathryn Fitzpatrick, Kian, Kinley and Chloe
Fitzpatrick, Damian Shapiro and Alexander Donkel. In addition she is survived by
her two beloved dogs, Beau and Annabelle and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her Husband of 57 years, James L. Stork, I, her
parents George Bailey Calhoun and Mary Avalene Mendelson, and her siblings
Donald Franklin Calhoun of Whitinsville, MA, Bobby Lewis Calhoun of Franklin,
NC and her Sister, Shirley George Calhoun of Atlanta, GA. She was the last
surviving of the four siblings.

She loved to draw, paint, watch TV, travel and do genealogy. She had a heart of
gold.

No formal services will be held in Las Vegas, NV. Eve will have an informal
celebration of her life in the coming months in Las Vegas. She will be cremated
and her cremains returned to Denver, CO to be interred with her Husband at Fort
Logan National Cemetery in the late Spring 2026. Her wishes were for a sunrise
service. This will be held at a local park in Denver, CO before her committal
service at Fort Logan.

In lieu of flowers, the Family requests contributions to her favorite charity, St.
Jude’s Childrens Hospital in Memphis, TN. We invite Family and Friends to
leave condolences/memories/photos at www.starmortuary.com or www.storkmorleyfh.com.

She will be greatly missed by all.
