Through those years Peggy met many people who loved and adored her. Peggy loved her family dearly and adored all her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Peggy could light up a room with her smile and her ability to talk to anyone for hours. She enjoyed spending time with her friends and family, taking trips with Jim, and loved going on their Alaskan Cruises.
