Throughout her life, Peggy faced many adversities including being born without the ability to hear, yet she was an incredible advocate for the deaf community. Her resilience and unwavering passion for sharing love and compassion with others, especially those in the deaf community, were truly inspiring.

In addition, Peggy courageously fought and defeated breast cancer and pancreatic cancer over 25 years. Peggy had a deep love for sewing, crocheting, and various other crafts that allowed her to express her creativity. Of all her hobbies, Peggy found her greatest inspiration in her love for her family.

She cherished the time spent with her grandchildren, finding immense joy in their company. For example, one of her cherished pastimes was making cookies with her grandson, Landon, creating lifelong memories and bonding over their shared love for baking. Her love for her family was a source of warmth and joy that brought her happiness like nothing else.
