Peggy was a 1970 graduate of East Brady High School. She spent several years working at Dayton Children’s Hospital, until she became a homemaker. Peggy’s family was the most important thing to her. She loved watching and spoiling her grandchildren. She rarely missed their sporting event and enjoyed taking them to Kings Island. Peggy had a servant’s heart. She enjoyed sewing and it was not uncommon for her to make blankets and donate them to her family and friends. She even took them down to Dayton Children’s.  She often volunteered for the American Red Cross and at local shelters and food pantries. In her free time, Peggy enjoyed being outdoors, tending to her garden, doing yard work, and feeding the birds.

A celebration of Peggy’s life will be held at 4:00 PM on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at Tribute Funeral Homes, Greenville Campus.
