Peg was raised in the Avard area and graduated from Avard High School. On September 14, 1957, she was united in marriage to Max Leroy Lancaster at Avard. They raised their family in the Alva area and they eventually returned to her family farmstead. She worked for many years for Darnall Furniture before owning and operating her own furniture store, Peg’s Furniture, until her retirement. She was a member of the Avard Christian Church from a young age and taught Sunday School there for many years. She was a lover of music and was an accomplished pianist. Peg had a gift for decorating, especially Christmas Trees which she decorated for any season throughout the year. She was an athlete and enjoyed basketball and challenging her kids to a game of horse, always coming out on top. She was good at throwing horseshoes also and rarely lost at that too. Peg was also an avid bird watcher. Besides her parents, Floyd and Leona, she was preceded in death by her brother, Lyle Bliss; and her sisters, Marjorie Wilson and Joyce Akard. Peg is survived by her husband of 67 years, Max Lancaster of Alva; her children, Jill Lancaster and Jan Green, both of Alva, and Joe Lancaster and his wife, Kathy, of Perry; four grandchildren, Drew Lancaster and wife, Jenifer, of Morrison, Rod Lancaster and Leah Benzin of Stillwater, Abigail Bohannan and husband, Matt, of Cabot, Arkansas, and Landin Green of Tulsa; two great granddaughters, Brinley and Madison Lancaster; other relatives and many friends.
