Richard Edward Nystrom passed away peacefully on February 12, 2023, in Peabody, MA. He was 91 years old, born on March 3, 1931.

Richard is survived by his loving wife, Peggy, of 70 years and his children, Jennifer Souza, Howard (Jennie) Nystrom, Nancy (Todd) Stansbery and Martin (Jen) Ryan-Nystrom. Forever cherished by his eight grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren; as well as by his siblings and their families, Perry & Betty Nystrom, Judy Monarca and Bill & Suzanne Nystrom; and many other family members and friends.

Richard was predeceased by his father, Charles; his mother, Mae; his brother, Charlie; his in-laws, Howard & Beatrice Myers; his sisters-in-law, Beverly Nystrom and Evelyn McCormick; his brother-in-law, Joe Monarca; and his granddaughter, Erin Nystrom.

He was born in Seymour, CT, the oldest of five children and the first in his family to go to college. He graduated high school in 1948 and was accepted at Northwestern University. In his own words, “I was ready to tackle the world and whatever came my way…It was time to leave the family and find my own way.” And he did.

After two years at Northwestern, he transferred to Maryville College in Tennessee where he met Peggy Myers. After graduating they married on January 2, 1953, in Peggy’s hometown of Beaver Falls, PA. From there, Richard earned his Master of Divinity at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. He went on to do doctoral studies at Vanderbilt, earned his Master’s in Theatre from NYU and received his Doctoral of Ministry degree from the Graduate Theological Foundation in South Bend Indiana in the area of poetry and theology. He wrote, “The greatest gift to me from ministry is the person I became in the process. I chose the ministry because I was searching for a faith, a way to understand my place in the world and a way to serve God.”

Richard’s career in the ministry included ten churches in five states: Ohio, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Florida. Twenty-seven of those years were spent as an associate pastor in large churches in the area of Christian education and pastoral care, including Central Presbyterian in Summit, NJ and First Presbyterian in Maitland, FL. In addition, he served as an interim pastor in several churches past his retirement, including in Florida, West Virginia and North Carolina. He did not fully retire until 2005 and called that experience one of the most satisfying of his career. In addition to his work as a pastor, he taught speech and theater for 17 years at Seminole Community College in Florida. In retirement, he was a substitute teacher at the local high school and taught courses at the NC State Encore program.

Richard was a man of many passions and interests. His curiosity was endless as was his desire to share himself through the written and spoken word as a minister, teacher, poet, lyricist, and actor. There was always a book and pen nearby, his constant companions. He will be remembered for co-creating a youth musical, New Directions (1968) and The Life of Jesus Festival (1974), and for creating two books of prayer, A Book  of Uncommon Prayer (1990) and To Comfort You. He loved movies, travel, opera, ballet and watching a favorite team with his family. He embraced the mysteries of life and was awed at the beauty of nature and human creation. Yet, he was most comforted by the simple pleasures of a good cup of coffee, a hug, dinner with his family around the table, making breakfast, seeing a bird outside the window or a beautiful flower.

He was a committed and loving husband, father, grandfather, friend and community member. He created and expressed, and he opened hearts and minds. He will be deeply missed and always remembered.

After a long and healthy life Margaret “Peggy’” Louise Myers Nystrom, age 90, passed away peacefully following a brief illness on Sunday, April 21, 2024, in Peabody, MA.  During her last months, she was cared for by her children who took turns visiting, as well as local friends and staff at Brooksby Village Continuing Care and the hospice team from Care Dimensions.

Peggy was preceded in death by her husband Richard, who died February 12, 2023, after 70 years of marriage.  She is survived by her four children, Jennifer Souza, Howard (Jennie) Nystrom, Nancy (Todd) Stansbery and Martin (Jen) Ryan-Nystrom. Forever cherished by her nine grandchildren, three great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.

Peggy was born July 19, 1933 in Beaver Falls, PA to Beatrice and Howard Myers, and had a younger sister, Evelyn.  She graduated from New Brighton High School, New Brighton, PA where she played the saxophone in the marching band and was active in her church youth group.  She attended Maryville College in Tennessee where she met Richard, and they were married on January 2, 1953.  She worked at Mellon Bank in Pittsburgh while Richard went to Divinity School. Afterwards, they were partners and Peggy excelled as a minister’s wife following her husband’s career and managing the home, family, social lives, and community engagement.

Peggy and Richard lived in eight states:  Pennsylvania, Ohio, Tennessee, New Jersey, Florida, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Massachusetts.  Through these experiences Peggy learned of her strengths and developed her skills and natural abilities to adapt to new places, build and maintain relationships, get involved in the community and establish a welcoming and beautiful home wherever she went.

Peggy had always aspired to work in the medical field, so in her early 40’s she earned her medical assistance degree and enjoyed a satisfying career until retirement.  She first worked in a private practice doctor office directly with patients and then later she managed the office of a speech and audiology practice.  Throughout those years she was an active member of a medical assistant association taking on leadership roles.

In their 60’s Peggy and Richard retired and moved to Raleigh, NC to be closer to their son Howard and his family, where they lived for twenty years.  During this time, Peggy cherished her role as grandma.  She also continued her involvement in the church and community work, volunteering at Wake Hospital, a women’s clinic, and doing service work in Haiti.

At 82, Peggy was still up for another move and she and Richard found a new home at Brooksby Village in Peabody, MA, a place that she and Richard could enjoy and meet their needs during their later lives.  Brooksby brought them closer to their other three children who lived in Massachusetts and New York.

Peggy was a woman of strength and love.  She did not sit idle and for her, a good day was when she could say, “I got a lot done.”  She kept a neat and clean home.  Peggy liked to have plans, and to organize and host parties, and she preferred if they had a theme and activities.   She was amazing at directions and loved to drive, especially her MGB convertible.  She loved the art of Georgia O’Keefe, classical and opera music, reading and creative endeavors.  Peggy enjoyed making comfort foods for her family and valued most of all times around the table talking and sharing stories.  She was a great storyteller and could remember everything and everyone.  She was also a great listener.  Most of all she was about people and relationships.  Peggy will be deeply missed and always remembered.

A celebration of life service will be held on Sunday, May 19 at 1:30 pm at Brooksby Village Chapel, 100 Brooksby Village Drive, Peabody, MA.  It will be followed by a reception where family and friends can share remembrances of Peggy.

Those who wish to make a memorial contribution in lieu of flowers please make one to Chautauqua Institute https://www.chq.org/.   A place and purpose she valued deeply.
