Peggy was an enthusiastic golfer and bowler, an avid reader of mysteries, and a collector of Peanuts memorabilia. She enjoyed baking for family, friends, and neighbors and was an expert knitter who created beautiful sweaters for people of all ages. She enjoyed her four cats and contributed to many animal charities. She enjoyed going to the casinos and took pride in beautifying her yard and gardens. She was a good daughter, sister, aunt, neighbor, and friend. Everyone will miss her generosity and good humor.
