Above all else, Peggy treasured her family. Being a devoted wife, loving mother, proud grandmother, and great-grandmother brought her immeasurable joy. She delighted in watching her family grow through the generations, and time spent with those she loved was always precious to her. Peggy also found happiness in the simple beauty of creating things with her own hands. She loved gardening and was a gifted quilter and crocheter.
