Peg grew up in the Milo area and was a graduate of Milo High School. She went on to work as a seamstress for several employers, a career well-suited to her patience, precision, and creativity. In 1978, Peg married Bob, beginning a loving partnership that spanned nearly five decades. She later worked for JCPenney for many years before retiring. Peg had a deep love for nature and found joy in flowers, birds, and animals of all kinds. An avid gardener, she took pride in growing vegetables that were canned, cooked, roasted, and transformed into comforting, home-cooked meals for her family. She also enjoyed drawing, especially working with pencil, finding peace and expression through her art. Peg's warmth, generosity, and gentle spirit will be profoundly missed, but her love will live on in the hearts of those she touched. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the ASPCA in Peg's name to continue her deep love for animals, donations can be made here: http://bit.ly/4aQz2Eu No formal services will be held at this time.
