R. Bruce Peddie

R. Bruce Peddie, 77, of Lock Haven, Pa, passed away on March 3, 2026 at Williamsport UPMC Hospital.

He was born in Lock Haven to parents Douglas and Evelyn Smith Peddie on October 30, 1948. He went to Lock Haven High School and went onto study at Williamsport Penn Tech.  He worked as a Supervisor of Dying and Picking at the Woolrich Woolen Mills for 45 years.  During his time at Woolrich, he served as President of the Beneficial Association.   

In his earlier years, in addition to working at Woolrich, he tended bar for the social club of the Castanea Fire Company and continued to volunteer as a grounds keeper, mowing the fire company picnic grounds.  He loved cooking for the fire company picnic and enjoyed spending time with his many friends associated with the firehall. 

Bruce is survived by his wife, Cathy (Strouse) Peddie, his son Robert B. (Anna) Peddie II, and his 2 daughters Lori Glossner, and Mary Ann Peddie. His grandchildren include Chritine Keefer (Sam), Jessica Williams (Conner), Sarah

Peddie-Levine (Shaun), Danielle Bennett (Jeff), and Madison Briggs. Bruce is survived by a sister, Carole Miller (Ken) and nephews Scott and Jeff.  His great grandchildren include Ellyanna, Bella, Michael and Fisher. 

 Bruce enjoyed football, Penn State and Steelers.  In his younger years he enjoyed golf and tennis until back issues forced him to give those up and he moved to camping and riding his ATV.  He loved spending time at this camper at Quiet Oaks Campground and especially riding down to see all his friends at Jeff’s Bar in Cross Fork, Pa. He looked forward to cooking and planning the annual family Christmas brunch.
