Peggy Kurokawa

Peggy Jean Kurokawa, 71, passed away peacefully on May 21, 2025, in Bozeman, Mont., after a short illness.

Peggy was born in Wolf Point, Mont., on Dec. 10, 1953, to Grant and Mari Kurokawa. She was a 1971 graduate of Wolf Point High School. She studied a year at Eastern Montana College and at the University of Montana.

Peggy spent her life enjoying Montana's beautiful outdoors. She was a rafter and kayaker and had paddled twice down the Grand Canyon. She loved fly fishing the Gallatin. While living near Glacier Park and Kalispell, she hiked, camped, skied and snowshoed.

Peggy loved animals. Her dog, Sugi, was her loyal companion for years. Many cat adoptees loved and praised her compassionate work as a cat adoption counselor at the Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman where she was in charge of the cat division.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents.

She is survived by her brother, Barry (Carmel Cleary) Kurokawa of St. Augustine, Fla.; sister, Nancy Kurokawa of Vancouver, Wash.; sister, Wendy (Joseph) Chopp; and niece, Mariko (Wyatt) Coleman of Vancouver, Wash.
