Peggy loved her family and was a wonderful daughter, loving wife, sister, mother, aunt, grandmother, and a dear friend to all who knew her. She will always be remembered for her great sense of humor, talent for crafting, making miniatures, and working crossword and jigsaw puzzles. The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Linden Square Assisted Living LLC for the beautiful world they made for Peggy while she resided there for six years, and to Careline Hospice for their care and support.
