Georgianna Adella Dolezal, 87

Georgianna Adella "Peggy" Dolezal, 87, died Aug. 12, 2021, following a rapid decline in her health. Peggy was born Oct. 15, 1933, in Dickinson, N.D., the youngest daughter of Roy and Eyra Boomer.

When Peggy was seven, she moved to Troy with her mother and older sister, Eyra Ruth “Patty,” where her mother taught in the rural Lake Creek School. They later moved to Libby, where Patty and Peggy attended Libby High School.

Peggy married Herman Dolezal in 1949 and they celebrated their 70th and 71st wedding anniversaries together in 2019 and 2020. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, neighbor and “special friend” to many. She worked several years as the secretary for Robert Herrig, superintendent of schools for Lincoln County. Peggy served as a Red Cross volunteer and as an election judge for many years.

Peggy and Herman were active in the Libby Church of God, where they attended for more than 60 years. Peggy loved the Lord Jesus and helped prepare communion and the weekly church bulletins. Peggy and Herman were caring, loving hospice volunteers for more than a decade, so it was fitting that she chose her final days to be under hospice loving care.

Peggy is survived by her three children, JoAnn (Gary) Armstrong of Libby, Larry (Ruthanne) of Troy and Dan of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho; grandchildren, Joshua, Rachel, Ezra, Izaiah, Zachariah and Esther; and nine great-grandchildren.

Services will be held at 10 a.m., Aug. 18 at the Libby Church of God, 1007 Utah Ave. Internment with a graveside service will follow at the City of Libby Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the Schnackenberg Funeral Home in Libby from 1 to 7 p.m., Aug. 17, 2021.
