Peggy Jean Myers 1928 ~ 2012 OCEANSIDE -- Peggy Myers was born Margaret Jean Frazee on January 26, 1928, in Oceanside, Calif., where she grew up in her large and extended sixth generation Californio family. She learned to love dancing during the Big Band era and over her life broadened her repertoire to include Jazz and Zydeco. Crowned Miss Oceanside in the 1940s, Peggy soon was attending San Diego State and shortly thereafter became a flight attendant with Pan American Airlines. She developed a strong love of travel during this time, working in Europe and especially the Latin American circuit where her Spanish language skills were particularly valued. While based in Los Angeles, she met Farlan Myers who was working with J. Walter Thompson Advertising. Utilizing his executive level advertising persuasion skills, Farlan was able to convince her to marry him on June 28, 1957 and they remained married for over fifty years. They started out in Park La Brea and developed a reputation for winning mixed doubles tournaments at the Beverly Hills Tennis Club. They moved to Bel Air in the early 1960s, and in 1965, their daughter Nancy was born. Peggy's wanderlust was satisfied through Farlan's business travels that took his family on many adventures to Europe. It was Hawaii that became one of their fondest destinations, inspiring the creation of their Maui Kula Onion business that sold the Island crop to Southern California Specialty markets for over twenty years. In the 1990s, Peggy had enough additional energy to act as the U.S. Representative for a Spanish Language Institute in San Jose, Costa Rica. Peggy was an avid gardener and spent hours per day tending to her flower garden. She volunteered at a local school where she helped non-English-speaking students learn the skills necessary to transition to the public school system. Peggy is survived by her daughter, Nancy. She will be remembered by her large and extended family as someone who fully expressed her love for those around her and as someone for whom it was very easy to return that love. She will be remembered as someone who loved to tell jokes and perform card tricks. She will be deeply missed. Services will be held at 2 p.m., on Saturday, October 13th, at Mission San Luis Rey, Oceanside. Donations, in Peggy's name, may be made to the National Parkinson's Foundation and Nature Conservancy.    NCTIMES
