Peggy was a much loved mother and community member. She enjoyed golfing, camping, canoeing, jigsaw puzzles, cooking, volunteering, card and board games and was a master bridge player, but loved her large family most of all. She spent a lifetime helping anyone she could. She had a loving and vivacious personality who rarely met a person she didn’t like nor said an unkind word about another. ​​
