Over her 76 years, Peggy grew into a smart, beautiful and creative woman. She married the only man she ever loved, Ken. She and Ken had a wonderful marriage sharing the birth of their three children and raising them together. She was an amazing mother, "The Bestest", teaching them right from wrong and where home is. A shrewd business woman, she absolutely loved buying real estate. Peggy's talent and creativity seemed limitless. She was a fabulous seamstress making the most beautiful quilts, gorgeous dresses and adorable dolls. Peggy was a collector of beautiful things.
