Peggy had a passion for collecting figurines, antique dolls, and many other items of all sorts. She enjoyed shopping, interior decorating, and she loved socializing with friends and family. She was an extremely giving person with a big heart who always had her eye out for what she could gift to others. One of her favorite pastimes was reminiscing with friends and family about her childhood and the way things used to be. Peggy loved the Lord and always instilled strong Christian morals and values into her children and grandchildren. She touched so many lives and hearts while she was with us and she will be greatly missed.
