Peggy enjoyed life!
She always wore a smile and had a contagiously big laugh. There was nothing she enjoyed more than spending time with her three granddaughters; taking them out for manicures and shopping till they dropped. Having sleepovers and cooking them a deliciously large breakfast.
She could be seen in the bleachers at volleyball games, she was their loudest fan and now she has the best seat in the gym.
She loved playing the slots till the early morning hours with her good friend Carol. She enjoyed endless hours of pitch and playing 13 with Kenny and Charlotte and her many other friends. She loved her overnight stays and winery trips with her Gilster family.
Her famous chicken dressing and silly vocabulary will be missed at family gatherings.
May we have Peace and Take Comfort in knowing Peggy is dancing to Proud Mary on the most beautiful dance floor with Dale, Wesley, Moe, Sis, Eddie and all the beautiful souls that have gone before her.
