Peg retired in 1998 after a lengthy career with both Franklin Life Insurance and the State of Illinois. She loved her home in Chatham for the almost 50 years that she lived there, particularly looking after her garden, roses, and feeding the birds. She enjoyed going out to lunch almost every day, with both old friends and making new ones. In recent years, she was a vibrant member of the community at Hickory Glen and Concordia Village where she enjoyed playing bingo and cards.
