Peggy loved with her whole heart. She embraced Life and lived it to the fullest. Even as her health declined her enthusiasm did not. Carrot cake, the y drive, an infectious laugh and a heart of gold, a few of the things I’ll always remember when I think of her. God bless her family for losing their jewel.
She was a great lady and friend. I worked with her Ken at Walmart. She was a godsend to the RedCross. I will sure miss her. Prayers for the family. 💕
Peggy and I share 4 great grandchildren, Zander, Zane, Zac and Zia. I am glad that I got to know her and she was a very special person. The great grand children dearly loved her. She was their Nana and I know they, along with all the family, will miss her so much. You all have my sympathy.
Peggy was a a good friend to me. I enjoyed spending time with her.
She was a blessing to the community and helped accomplish help programs that made a huge difference in people’s lives.
I will miss our swims this summer.
PS—You made the best peanut brittle I have ever eaten.

PEGGY WAS AN AMAZING WOMAN! SHE AND MY MOTHER HELENA WERE THE BEST OF FRIENDS. HER CHILDREN GRANDCHILDREN AND I HAVE AND WILL CARRY THAT ON.
SHE GAVE TO PITTSBURG AND THE YMCA WITH HER WHOLE HEART. IT WAS MY HONOR TO HAVE KNOWN HER. PS SHE MADE THE BEST CARROT CAKE ON THE PLANET.
I WILL THINK OF HER OFTEN. MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY! I BET SHE AND MOM ARE HAPPY TO SEE EACH OTHER.
Just as her name, Peggy was a true jewel for Pittsburg. Her spirit will always be a part of those whose lives she made better.
