Peggy was born on December 29, 1947, to Gordon and Salome (Pretasky) Lenox. She graduated from West Salem High School and continued her education at Viterbo University, where she earned her undergraduate degree. She later received her master’s degree from Regent University and fulfilled a lifelong dream by earning her Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Walden University at the age of 51, an accomplishment of which she was especially proud.
On May 18, 1985, Peggy married Scott L. Dennison at King Jesus Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Peggy dedicated her life to helping others. She owned and operated Inside Out Counseling & Diagnostic Services, with offices in Fond du Lac, Ripon, and Beaver Dam. She also served for seven years with the Wisconsin Department of Corrections in New Lisbon, WI before feeling called by God to return to private practice in 2015, where she continued caring for others until her retirement.
Peggy had a passion for cooking. Scott would grow fresh fruits and vegetables, and Peggy delighted in preparing meals and preserving the harvest. She was a marvelous cook who was always searching for new recipes and ideas to share with family and friends.
Above all, Peggy’s greatest passion was her faith in Jesus Christ. She loved Him with all her heart and now has the joy of seeing Him face to face.
Peggy also found great joy in flowers, gardening, and encouraging those around her. She had a special gift for working with children and considered helping them to be the most rewarding part of her career as a psychologist. Her compassionate heart, steadfast faith, and genuine desire to uplift others left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Gordon and Salome Lenox.
She is survived by her husband, Scott Dennison; her two sons, Jeffrey (Dawn) Noffke and Jared (Ivy) Noffke; ten grandchildren; her siblings, Gordon “Butch” Lenox, David Lenox, Steven Lenox, and
Diane Mary (Stuart) Burdick; as well as many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

Our sincere condolences to your family! We were blessed to have had the privilege and honor to have met Peggy! She was a woman of God and powerful in prayer!
Peggy was a woman of faith that trusted God with every detail of her life. She loved helping others and wanted all to know about Jesus’ saving grace available to any who would accept His gift of LOVE and Redemption. Grateful for the past 2 years as she hosted the Suszycki Women of Faith in her home. My sincere sympathies to her husband, Scott; Sister, Diane; and sons (Jared & Jeffery) and their families. She loved her family, loved living in Mauston, but was ready to connect with her LORD and Savior. She fought the good fight of faith and now has received her eternal upgrade! Hallelujah, Praise the LORD.
We worked with Peggy at New Lisbon Correctional, and I had the honor of eating lunch with her most days. She was a delight with a great sense of humor, and an even better smile. Her laugh was infectious, she always made every day better, and I (we) miss her presence to this day. Terribly sorry for your loss; Heaven truly gained another Angel.
Sorry for your loss. I met Peggy when she was going to the Adams Assembly of God for a short time.
