Peggy learned many skills at a young age that she cherished all through life. She loved to cook for her family and spend time running from garage sale to garage sale. Peggy enjoyed gardening during good weather and quilting or sewing when indoors. She also loved to paint or watch TV programs that showcased singing and dancing. Peggy also volunteered at many locations around town. For example, at the school, at girl scouts, she also coached baseball and basketball. Peggy loved to help youth organizations and started one of her own called Campfire Boys & Girls, an organization designed to bring kids together in the great outdoors. Peggy also enjoyed having fun with dominoes, especially while playing 42, or going fishing, although she could never bring herself to eat the fish and would always throw them back.
