Margaret "Peg" R. Adsit

July 9, 1952 — December 1, 2024

Cheyenne, Wyoming

Margaret "Peg" R. Adsit, born on July 9, 1952, in Wheatland, Wyoming, and cherished by all who knew her, passed away peacefully on December 1 2024, in Cheyenne, Wyoming. She was a remarkable woman whose legacy is indelibly etched in the hearts of her family and friends.

Peg devoted thirty years of her life to the art of pottery, emerging as one of the premier potters in her region. Her extraordinary craftsmanship transcended borders, as her work found homes as far away as Moscow, Russia, and stretched across the American expanse from Wyoming, to Connecticut, with numerous appreciative places in between. Each piece she created was a testament to her passion and skill, forging connections through the beauty and creativity of her art.

Her academic journey fostered her musical talents, culminating in a Bachelor of Music Education from the University of Wyoming. A dedicated member of the Cowboy Marching Band for four years and a part of the esteemed University of Wyoming Collegiate Chorale for three years, Peg's artistic sensibilities were harmoniously intertwined with her pottery.

Life at the cabin held a special place in her heart, where great times were spent fishing alongside loved ones. Peg reveled in the joys of Christmas entertaining and cherished the moments spent crafting and playing with her grandchildren during their formative years. Her terrific sense of humor, along with her caring and loving nature, forged wonderful relationships that will forever be treasured by those fortunate enough to have shared in her life.

Peg is remembered for her highly organized demeanor and tireless work ethic within her pottery studio, traits that reflected her commitment to her craft and her family. She took immense pride in her accomplishments, not only for being selected for the UW Collegiate Chorale but also for the honor of having her jewelry line selected for gifts to the Russian diplomatic and military corps visiting for a START inspection.

She leaves behind a loving family, including her husband Tim Adsit, her son Mark Adsit, her sister Paula Jo Edberg, her mother Pauline Bookout, her granddaughter Aspen Miller, her grandson Hayden Pierce, and her granddaughter Emma Jo Pierce, along with numerous friends, in-laws, cousins, nieces, nephews, and aunts. Though she faced the sorrow of losing her daughter Amanda Pierce, sister Susan Bookout, and her father Joe Bookout, Peg's spirit and essence continue to envelop her surviving family in love and fond memories.

In a world often hurried and chaotic, Peg embodied grace and kindness, a luminous presence who cherished relationships and took joy in life's simple pleasures. Her influence will reverberate through the generations to come, an enduring reminder of a life richly lived and generously shared. May her memory be a source of inspiration for all who were blessed to know her.
