Peggy was born in England and came to Canada with her parents at an early age. She met Paul and married him in 1946. They lived in St. James where they raised their three children. Mom enjoyed her part-time work at The Bay, Breslauer & Warren and Sears in their china departments. She valued the friendships she made over the 40 years spent with Beauty Counsellors. Mom was a long standing member of St. Stephens Lutheran Church. She was involved in many aspects of church life. Her strong faith was her guiding light. She was blessed with many friends who meant the world to her and found good in everyone. She had many interests. She loved her years of volunteer work at the Grace Hospital, as well as her knitting and crocheting, crafts, music, baking, Bridge and travelling.
