Peggy had a difficult start to her adult life. At the age of 24 her husband was killed in a U.S. Navy airplane crash leaving her with three very small children, one son and two daughters. But she was tough. She picked herself up, went to work and started raising her children. She remarried and had another son. The second marriage failed and once again she was on her own to raise four children, but she did it. Even though the money was scarce, Peggy still found a way to help feed the less fortunate when she could. The would not be complete without saying something about her love of gambling.
Peggy is survived by two sons, Russell Baze (Gail) and Randy Wilbourn (Beverly), and two daughters, Debbra Baze Hahn and Bridgette Baze Croom. Also her brother, Hank Page. As well as many grandchildren, great grandchildren and a few great great grandchildren, nieces and nephews. She loved them all.
