In Loving Memory of Margaret “Peggy” Despotakis

With deep sadness, we share the passing of Margaret “Peggy” Despotakis on April 21, 2025.

Peggy was born Margaret Rosemary Alexander on January 13, 1936, in San Francisco, California. She is lovingly remembered by her devoted husband of 69 years, John, along with their six children, seven grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren.

A proud graduate of Balboa High School, Peggy continued her education at City College of San Francisco, earning an Associate of Arts degree in accounting. It was there she met John, the love of her life. They were married on her 20th birthday, January 13, 1956, beginning a lifetime of partnership, adventure, and enduring love.

Throughout John’s service in the Marine Corps, they lived in various parts of the country, always returning to the Bay Area, where they eventually made their home—first in Pleasanton and Danville and then settling in Livermore for the past 25 years.

Peggy’s warmth, strength, and unwavering love for her family will be cherished and remembered always.
