Margaret “Peggy” Metroff
Peggy (Margaret) Mitchell Metroff, 60, of Ballwin, MO, passed away peacefully on January 24th, 2018 in her home surrounded by family after a battle with cancer. Peg was born on July 1st, 1957 to Elizabeth (Bixie) Baker.
Peg is survived by her loving husband of 34 years, Bill Metroff, her daughter Niki Pratt and husband Mike, her daughter Jessie Weidman and husband Steven, her son Billy Metroff, and her two beautiful granddaughters Lux Metroff and Emma Pratt. Her extended family includes her brother Bill Baker and wife Judy, her brother Scott Baker and wife Wana, her twin brother Pete Baker and wife Nancy, her sister Lynn Godina and husband Terry, her brother-in-law Ken Metroff and wife Barb, her brother-in-law Dan Metroff and wife Dianna, and all of her loving nieces and nephews. In addition, she has positively impacted the lives of countless students during her 20+ years of teaching.
Peg had a true passion for fitness and teaching, but loved spending time with her family and friends. In her spare time, she loved nothing more than an RV ride with her soul mate, Bill, playing with her granddaughters or a day sitting by the pool with family and friends. She was always the life of the party and filled every room with joy with her contagious smile and positive attitude.
In lieu of flowers, please do a random act of kindness to make our world a better place. Donations can also be made to Good Shepherd Church, where she most recently taught as a preschool teacher, via check payable to “Good Shepherd Lutheran Church” at 327 Woods Mill Rd. Ballwin, MO 63011.

So sorry to hear of the loss of Peg. She was a beautiful person, a wonderful teacher, and brought joy to all whose lives she touched.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family during this difficult time.
“Place me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm,
For love is as strong as death is,
And exclusive devotion is as
Unyielding as the grave.
Its flames are a blazing fire,
The Flame of Jah. (1 John 4:8)
Surging waters cannot extinguish love,
Nor can rivers wash it away.”
Song of Solomon 8:6,7
Our thoughts and prayers to your family. We just recently met Peggy up at the Principal Charity Classic and had the opportunity to talk for hours. My wife really enjoyed the conversation and felt a connection with her as a teacher. We wish we had more time to continue that relationship.
A beautiful, bright, shining candle whose light was extinguished way to soon. Thoughts and prayers to her family. Hopefully, happy memories will help you through this sad and challenging time.
May the memories keep you strong and the brightest star make you smile. God Bless all of you

Peg was such a ray of sunshine in our neighborhood. Always smiling and always friendly. I enjoyed chatting about life and teaching in the cul-de-sac.
