Peggy loved her many friendships with the residents of her apartment building, sewing, gardening, her dear pets, and visiting with her neighbors on her many walks with her yorkie, Max. Above all, she cherished her children and grandchildren.

A commitment to family and church guided Peggy through life. Her strength, resilience and unwavering faith carried her through the many obstacles she overcame. Through it all, she was always able to find joy in the many ways she was blessed.
