Peggy was blessed with the incredible gift of being an artist.  She painted beautiful pictures. She focused on creating magnificent floral arrangements for many years. She was so amazingly talented; she was able to take a concept and create exactly what the person desired.  She also made miniatures for craft fairs.  

Peggy loved playing with her indoor cats and community cats. She also raised cocker spaniel puppies on the farm.  

She had a great love for silver jewelry. She loved the sound they made when she moved her arms. Her love for NASCAR and F1 started by going to races when Erin was a baby. She never missed a race.
