Margaret Ann “Peggy” Vicary, 83, of Fort Smith, Arkansas passed away on Wednesday, November 16, 2016 in a local nursing home. She was born on January 20, 1933 in Fort Smith to Theodore and Margaret (Schnitzer) Thienes. She formerly worked for the Finance Department at Fort Chaffee and Coca Cola, and was a homemaker.

Peggy was a dedicated mother, grandmother and caregiver. She fondly remembered helping with her ailing aunt when she was growing up, and along with raising her son, she assisted various family members over the years. Her focus turned to her grandchildren and she was always willing to do anything they asked and ‘spoil them rotten’ at every opportunity.
