Peg got married late in life because she was too busy dancing. She did not hold back her opinion and had a knack for telling it like it is. Peg told the truth even if it was not what you wanted to hear. Many people's lives were touched by Peg's creativity and attention to detail. Her love of sewing draperies and clothes were her main passions along with a successful wallpapering business. Whether she was cooking incredible meals or pulling weeds in the front yard, her focus was unwavering. Valuable lessons have been learned from Peg in her 95 years, among them: Compound interest, cleaning shirt collars, baking killer cakes and pies, and eating Vicks Vapo Rub.
