Margaret Ann “Peggy” Titens, 89, of Dallas, Texas, died on Aug. 1, 2024.
A graveside funeral service was held on Aug. 6 at Rose Hill Cemetery.
Peggy was born on June 17, 1935, to the late Max and Martha Glick in Youngstown, Ohio. She attended Boston University and then graduated with a bachelor’s degree in education from the Ohio State University.
After college, she moved to Cleveland to pursue her career as an art teacher. There she met a young lawyer, Sherman Titens, who would be the love of her life and husband of 55 years. Sherman, Peggy and their young family moved to Los Angeles in 1969 and to Overland Park, Kansas, in 1973. After Sherman’s death in 2014, Peggy moved to Dallas and gracefully battled both Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.
Peggy was an avid needlepointer, a shrewd Pan player, an excellent cook who would share her recipes with anyone who asked, an April Fools’ Day prankster, a night owl who always waited up for the kids to come home, an art enthusiast and ice cream lover. She regularly volunteered her time to the Brandeis Book Sale and other causes. More importantly, Peggy was a devoted wife, steadfast supporter of her children and grandchildren, and dear friend. Much to her embarrassment, her friends called her “Peggy the Good” because of her kindness, ever-present smile and knack for always doing the right thing.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her husband and her daughter Stacey Titens Wizig. She is survived by her son, Michael (Stacey) Titens; daughter Joan (Jeffrey Mettel) Titens; grandchildren Marissa (Andrew) Klegman, Hayley Wizig and Josh Titens; brother, Seymour Glick; and son-in-law Howard Wizig.
Kindly omit flowers; the family suggests contributions to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City.
