Disque Sept. 24, 1917 ? June 26, 2016Margaret Maude Lowry Disque (?Peg?) passed away peacefully at the Village of Skyline, Colorado Springs, Colo., on Sunday, June 26, 2016.Peg Disque was born on Sept. 24, 1917, in Buckeye, to Julius Lindsey and Maude (Beers) Lowry. Peg, the third of five children, graduated from high school in Audubon before moving to Des Moines, where she graduated from Capitol City Commercial College. Peg then went to work as a secretary using her new shorthand and typing skills at Connecticut General Life Insurance Company in Des Moines.In 1947, Peg and her son, Michael, moved to Ames after her divorce, to live with her parents and work at a farm loan company. She later served as the secretary to the president of the Ames Trust and Savings Bank. In 1953, Peg married Neil E. (Ned) Disque, who was employed by the Information Service at Iowa State University. When Ned retired in 1979, they moved to Green Valley, Ariz., where they lived until 1991, when they moved to Colorado Springs to be nearer to their son and daughter-in-law.Peg was always active in her groups: PEO in Ames and Green Valley, the Iowa State Faculty Women?s Club, Ames Business and Professional Women?s Club, and the Collegiate Methodist Church. Ned and Peg travelled extensively in the U.S. ? not an easy feat when you will not fly, go on a boat, or cross scary bridges. They also hosted foreign students who were attending Iowa State, and their home was always open to nieces and nephews who were attending the University.In 2010, her beloved husband preceded her in death.She is survived by their son, Michael, and his wife, Cheryl (Cherri), of Colorado Springs.
