Peggy was known as Aunt Peggy to many and was loved and cherished by her late husband, her sister, her aunts and uncles, her cousins, her sons and her nieces. She was fun loving and never met a roller coaster or go kart she would not ride with her nieces. She was spontaneous and loved experiencing life to the fullest, and even joined her sister's family on a cruise with just the clothes on her back when she and her husband were dropping the family off at the cruise terminal. She loved taking
family and friends out to nice restaurants to share dinner, laughs and wine. She and her only sibling shared a birthday, and her sister, Gloria thought she was the best birthday present she ever received. Although she is still with us in spirit, she is missed terribly by all.
