Margaret "Peg" Ann Waterman

Dr. Margaret Ann Waterman (Peg) 75 of Overbrook Ks, passed away peacefully Thursday June 04, 2026.

Peg was born September 3,1950 to Robert Waterman and Evelyn (Christler) Waterman in St Mary’s Ohio. She is survived by her baby sister Linda Waterman in Grand Rapids, Ohio, who she loved dearly. With many nieces and nephews. She also is survived by some Dear friends Charles (Cj) and Ashlee Stark of Overbrook Ks, and of course her main favorite person aka “little brother” as she would call him, Liam Frederick Stark. Who she adored. They were the best of friends. They would spend outdoor time together; he would always be out there to help her with whatever it was that she needed. Whether it was to unload her car with animal supplies or help clean up the puppy messes in the yard or to just sit in a chair and enjoy the outdoors. He was her right-hand man.

Peg grew up in New Breman, Ohio. She attended Art school in Dayton Ohio. Peg started to work at a leather shop for a gentleman named Bill Manns, where she had shown that she wasn’t afraid to work especially with only having one hand, that did not keep Peg from doing anything, she would show that she is capable to doing anything that others can do, even if it would be more challenging she did it. There were many different adventures she had, after them she went on to get her master’s degree from Ohio State, followed by her PhD education, then she became a professor at The Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. That is where she really enjoyed life, teaching and interacting with her students and colleagues. Peg had a passion for her work. She loved visiting and meeting new people even if it was virtual. She was the biggest animal lover and supporter, especially with her dogs, then coming in second place would be her raccoons whom she would feed like they were part of her family. Let’s just say they weren’t happy when Peg no longer lived in that home where they accumulated. Peg was just wonderful soul who made an impact in other lives and for that she will always be remembered. We will miss her tremendously but now she is with her eternal father and has reunited with her loved ones.
