Margaret Lassen

Margaret Lynn "Peg" Lassen, née Robertson, passed away peacefully on December 5, 2024, in Greeneville, Tennessee, at the age of 86. Born in 1938 in Elyria, Ohio, Peg was the beloved daughter of the late John Robertson and Regina Bodine. She was also preceded in death by her four siblings.

Peg attended Elyria High School, where she laid the foundation for a life filled with love, adventure, and service. In 1959, she married the love of her life, Myron Lassen, with whom she shared 65 wonderful years. Together, they raised three sons: Christopher, Steven, and Matthew, who blessed them with 10 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

She excelled as a professional assistant working with many firms throughout her career. In 2004, Peg and Myron relocated to Greeneville, Tennessee, where she enjoyed retirement so close to nature. Peg was known for her vibrant spirit and love for the outdoors. An avid hiker, she accomplished the remarkable feat of completing half of the Appalachian Trail, covering 1,023 miles. Her passion for nature was matched by her talent in quilting. Peg was an active participant in the Quilts of Valor program, creating beautiful quilts to honor and comfort veterans as well as local quilting groups.

Peg's life was a testament to her dedication to family, her adventurous spirit, and her generous heart. Her legacy will be cherished by all who knew her. A grave-side service will be held Friday, December 20,2024 at 1 pm at Mountain Home National Cemetery , where family and friends will gather to celebrate her life and bid farewell to a remarkable woman.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Peg’s name to Crossroads Church, 123 Fairgrounds Ln, Greeneville, TN 37745.
