Peggy Lynn Behr, 74, of Crawfordsville, IN passed away surrounded by her family on June 16, 2024 after a 16-month long battle with ovarian cancer.

Surviving family include: husband, Robert Behr; daughters, Delaney Behr, and Courtney (Shawn) Verhey; granddaughter Marley Lynn; and siblings, Vanessa Goodwin, Toni Ferch, Chip Ferch, Tracy Ferch and many nieces and nephews as well as great nieces and nephews…. too dang many to count.
