Peg was born April 20, 1944, to Herbert Laurence and Vada Marie (Brooks) St. Ores. She attended grade school in Thomson and graduated from Thomson High School. She went on to complete cosmetology school to pursue her enthusiasm for a career in hairstyling. On March 10, 1962, Peg married James R. Eissens at Spring Valley Reformed Church. Peg was a self-employed hairdresser for 50 years, serving her clients with dedication and care. She was a member of Spring Valley Reformed Church and sang in the Cantata at Emmanuel Church in Morrison. Above all, Peg’s faith and family were her greatest joys. She was always the first to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. Her selflessness and willingness to assist others made her an invaluable friend and family member.
She is survived by her husband, Jim Eissens of Morrison, IL; one daughter, Janelle Kehl of Thomson, IL; one son, Jeff (Deb) Eissens of Morrison, IL; four grandchildren, Sarah (Daniel) Deter, Brad (Kim) Eissens, Cody Kehl, and Hannah (Evan) Ernst Kehl; ten great-grandchildren; one sister, Arla Green of Delvin, WI; and many nieces and nephews.
Peg was preceded in death by her parents; one sister, Janice Rogers; and two brothers, Herbert (Jeannie) St. Ores Jr. and George (Esther) St. Ores.
