Peggy's life was a beautiful reflection of love, generosity, and unwavering commitment to her family, Known for her open arms and giving spirit, she welcomed everyone as if they were family. Her heart belonged not only to those closest to her but to her entire community. She lived by the principle of loving thy neighbor and left a lasting impact on all who had the joy of knowing her.
She found deep joy in caring for others-often through baking, where her kitchen became a place of warmth and comfort for family, friends, and anyone in need. Whether it was a birthday, or a family or friends gathering, Peggy's presence-and her Cakes-were always a gift. She took pride in every endeavors, gardening, where her green thumb turned simple soil into beauty that bloomed and erased all problems for anyone visiting.
