Peggy enjoyed working in her daughters’ horse barn, attending horse shows with her family, mowing her lawn, spending time with her husband and family, attending her grandkids sporting events, and having her grandchildren spend the night at her house. A long-time member of Chili Crossroads Bible Church, she sang in the church choir and served as custodian for many years.
