MADISON-Peggy M. Johnson, age 87, of Madison, passed away at home on Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015. She was born in Madison, the daughter of Glenn and Loretta Morrison on Oct. 4, 1927. Peg grew up in Evansville, Wis., unknowingly meeting her future sweetheart, Jean, in kindergarten. As years passed their love grew, both proud Evansville Blue Devils, marrying on Aug. 4, 1949. The two began a family living briefly in Texas, a Quonset hut at Camp Randall, a flat on Johnson Street and East Washington Avenue and then moving into their home of 64 years on the east side of Madison. Peg loved watching the movies and spoke fondly of Saturday afternoon matinees. On game days she often gave coaching advice and sported the Packer green and gold as well as Badger red. Most importantly, she was a loving wife and mother.
