Delores (Peggy) Volin, age 87, passed away peacefully at home on March
20,2019.

Peggy was delivered by her grandmother at home, on June 15,1931, at
Ridgway, MT. She grew up living in the country in Carter County, MT.
She used to talk about riding to school bareback on her horse. She moved
to town in Ekalaka, MT., to attend high school. She worked for room and
board doing domestic chores. She played the drums in her Dad's dance
band and kept the beat all her life. At this time she also became a
professional wrestler known as "Rattlesnake" Meade.

She met "Toots" Volin and it was love at first sight. They got married
in Ekalaka, on March 5 ^th , 1949. They resided on the family ranch near
Capital, MT. To this union five children were born. She became a hard
working ranch wife without indoor plumbing, a wringer washing machine,
ironing, cooking three meals a day. She said, "I am the running water
and you kids were the cleanest kids in Carter Co." In 1962, the family
moved to Rapid City, S.D. where she lived for the next 56 yrs. In 1968,
she went to work for Magnecraft and later Landstrom's Jewelery as a
controller in the vault until S.D. Gold lured her away to become the
controller of their vault.

Peggy loved to dance with Toots which became their routine every
Saturday night after church.  Usually having "groupies" wherever they
went.   She was a true fashionista with an obsession for shoes. She had an angel
collection, was an avid reader, enjoyed word search puzzles and reading People
magazine.  She loved watching sports and game shows, especially the Price
is Right.

The last 10 years she wintered in Arizona with her companion, Ray
Mello.  Peggy made friends wherever she went and enjoyed life.  She was
active in her church and was a very devoted Catholic.  We could always
count on her for her prayers.

Peggy is survived by daughters, Lynda (Nick) Reed and Dixie Hunsaker;
sons, Chuck Volin and Leo Volin; sister, Tammy Meade; sister-in-law,
Beverly Meade; 9 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and numerous nieces and nephews.
