Her life was a testament to selflessness and creativity.

A gifted artist, Peggy expressed her vibrant spirit through her paintings and creative works. She also played an integral role in the family business, Rural Gas, contributing her time and talents since the mid-1970s.

Peggy shared a lifelong bond with her best friends, Brenda, Scottie, and Sammie, whose friendship brought her so much joy and laughter over the years.
