Peggy was born in Beaver City Nebraska on January 25, 1922. She was the only daughter in a family of seven boys. She moved to Los Angeles in 1941 where she met and married her Husband Frank that same year. They were married 71 years until Frank passed away in 2012 at age 96. They moved to Cottonwood in 1980 and became active in the community as members of the ham radio club, garden club, Working Artists of Yavapai County and attended Haven United Methodist Church in Jerome.
