Peggy had a big heart. She loved her family immensely and was often known as “Mom” to many of her son’s friend. As a military spouse, Peggy spent 24 years supporting her husband and family while he served our country in the United States Navy. She loved meeting new people and made many friends along the way. As a young military wife, she loved to entertain and host game nights with friends. Along the way, she learned to cook foods from other cultures, which became family favorites. One of the favorite family traditions was to gather around the table and make Lumpia and Wontons togethers. Peggy retired from Dollar General where she had work for many years. She was loved by all those who had the privilege to meet her.

A private family memorial service will be planned for a later date to celebrate her life. Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapels assisting with arrangements.
