Peggy Lane Matkins Adler went home to meet her Father on January 14, 2022. Her passing was sudden and unexpected due to complications from pneumonia. She was 71 years old. Peggy was a long-time resident of Louisville, KY. Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Vernon Matkins and Grace Moore Matkins and a sister, Linda Matkins. She is survived by her husband and love of 50 years, Carl C. Adler of Louisville, KY; three daughters, April Adler (Alan Beam) of Louisville KY; Pricilla Crawford of Pensacola Beach FL; Madelyn Childress (James) of Pontotoc MS; one son Daniel Beckovich (Denise) of Louisville KY; niece, Eva Peel (John) of Memphis TN; a brother, David Matkins of Los Vegas NV; and several other nieces and nephews. Peggy has been a lifelong lover of animals and water. She supported local and national organizations in the protection and care of animals. Her current beloved dog, a Pomeranian named Brutus, got his spunky attitude from her, and was very protective. He is already lost without her. On warm summer days, Peggy would be found near the water. She loved water parks and sunshine. There she would spend quality time with her daughter April and fianc? Alan. She had a celebrity following at Hurricane Bay at 71 years old! She was also in charge of feeding the local squirrels a quality diet of walnuts, almonds, and peanuts. Her squirrels were the largest and healthiest in the neighborhood! She liked Chinese food, ice cream and had recently developed a fondness for painting. She enjoyed sermons by Dr. Charles Stanley and his daily devotional. Reading it to others brought her great pleasure. These moments will be extremely missed. Peggy was also a welcomed site by her husband's coworkers at Kroger. They enjoyed her visits, jokes, and fun-loving personality. She will be grieved by many.
