Following the death of the love of her life, James, in 1972, she earned her GED and graduated from Shelton State as a LPN. She worked at BCNH during her career. Following retirement and the death of her second husband, Peggy enjoyed traveling and visiting family and friends.

One of her favorite activities was playing dominoes with "The Rowdy Row" ladies at Brent Baptist Church. She was also known for how much she loved her coffee. She enjoyed reading her Bible daily and playing the organ.

The family wishes to thank the staff at BCNH for the love and care that Peggy received as a resident.
