Margaret Fuller Sandberg

It is with great sadness we announce to friends the passing of Margaret Fuller Sandberg our Dearest Mom, on Thursday morning January 24, 2013 at the Toledo hospital. Peggy died from complications from Sepsis after being admitted to the hospital a few weeks prior. Peggy was born in Toledo, Ohio on May 11, 1934 to Fred and Isabelle Fuller. She was a graduate Ottawa Hills High School and Ohio Wesleyan University. Peggy is survived by her loving children Trygve Ren (Suzy Shore), Mary Isabelle, Fred Fuller and Rolf Ren; grandchildren Trygve Sig, Charlotte Ren, and Sig Oliver Sandberg; Taylor, and Charlie Trygve Sandberg; Ren William, Rolf John and Phoebe Grace Sandberg. Peggy was preceded in death by her husband Trygve Sandberg, her parents Fred and Isabelle Fuller and sisters, Bess Brownell, Ann Boyd and her brother Fred Fuller. Peggy met her “Best Friend” and husband, Trygve Jarl Sandberg at Ohio Wesleyan who was there visiting his friends from Connecticut. Soon after, Little Tryg was born in Danbury, CT. Big Tryg owned and operated a Studebaker and Mercedes Dealership in Danbury, and they lived in Newtown, CT. then came Missy and Fred. When Studebaker went under in 1965, Peggy said ‘no more playing around with cars,” and they moved to her beloved Ottawa Hills. Soon after, Rolf was born in Toledo Hospital (where Peggy had been born along with all of her siblings). All of Peggy’s children graduated from Ottawa Hills where some of her grandchildren attended or graduated from: Taylor and Charlie, Ren, Little Rolf and Phoebe. Little Tryg’s family lives in Fairfield CT. in the house that Peggy’s husband, and brother, Rolf, grew up in. While it seems that some of them do not stray far, an exception is Missy “Isabelle” who lived all over the world. Peggy and Tryg loved visiting her when she lived in Norway, France, and Switzerland. Now Missy is living on Kauai in Hawaii. Peggy and Tryg loved to travel by car with all their children in tow, often to Colorado, Utah or Lake Michigan to her sister, Anne Create’s, wonderful home on the shore. The six Sandberg’s in a station wagon with ski’s and gear going over Independence Pass was a site to see even if Mom was crouched under the dash to keep from having to see over the edge and the thousand+ foot drop. Not a day will go by when she will not be missed by the many she loved and who loved her in return. Love never dies. She gave us The Best: Shared our Secrets, Sorrows, Strife, and Successes. Taught us to Love Life, Pray, Grieve, and most of all Go Our OWN Way! She trusted many, and was never taken advantage of. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Lucas County Library. Peggy's greatest passion besides her family and friends was a good Non-Fiction book. A good portion of her adult life was spent on a couch with a book in her face, coffee in one hand and a cig in the other :>) At Margaret’s request, there will be no visitation. Memorial services will be held on Saturday March 2, 2013 at 11:00 am at St. Michaels in the Hills Church. The Coyle Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
