I was a classmate of Peggy's at Washington High school. She was very active in school activities including Y-Teens, Washingtonian Staff, Hatchet Yearbook Staff, Press Club, Play Cast, Future Nurses, Student Council, Quill and Scroll, Varsity Cheerleader, and Homecoming Queen. She was a friendly personable student.
She is missed by all who knew her. Sad for her to pass at a young age.
