Peggy, was lovingly known by all who knew her as “MomMom”. She was a kind, overly generous and loving soul who’s infectious smile brightened up your day without fail.
Peggy enjoyed crocheting, shopping, gardening and tending to her plants, reading the Bible, and working crossword puzzles, and most of all spending time with her family and friends. The world was a better place because she was in it, and her family will miss her dearly.
