Peggy R. Schultz-Arnone

Peggy Schultz-Arnone, passed away peacefully on May 13, 2024, at the age of 88. Originally from Cookeville, Tennessee, she was born on October 23, 1935, several weeks premature. The doctor wasn’t sure she would survive the night, but her grandfather placed her by the fireplace in her home to keep her warm and give her a fighting chance of survival. She held on to that fighting, independent spirit throughout her life. Peggy was a long-time resident of Farmington Hills, Michigan. After working at the phone company, she went back to school to become a nurse where she dedicated over 30 years to her hard earned profession. Most of her nursing years were spent in Labor and Delivery, where she provided care to countless families during one of the most significant moments of their lives. Peggy also spent time tending to patients in the emergency room and on the orthopedic surgery floor, she often got a rise out of her grandkids by sharing the traumatic injuries she cared for during the day for over dinnertime. Known for her independent spirit, Peggy was an avid walker, shopper and traveler. Her desire for adventure took her on numerous cruises, with Alaska being a favored destination. She found joy in the simpler pleasures as well, such as reading with a good cup of coffee, working on puzzles, and tending to her garden, where she spent many contented hours. Peggy hosted many Thanksgiving dinners but her favorite part was the Black Friday shopping that was to commence in the early hours the following day, often with several generations of Bradford, Schultz, and Dishman women. She would always find the best parking spot and was on the hunt for a great deal. These times will be remembered fondly. She leaves behind her devoted daughter, Donna Dishman and son, Jon Lawrence "Larry" Schultz. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Todd Schultz; husband, Joseph Arnone; brother, Jack Bradford; and mother, Jimmy Bradford. Peggy's memory will live on through her six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
