Peggy lived her life to the fullest in work and play. She was an avid reader, loved music, treasured family and had the quintessential ability to send the perfect card. Peggy had a heart that connected with others and kept those around her laughing even through the difficult times.

Merry Meet and Merry Part 'til Merry Meet Again, Sweet One.
