Living in California, Washington, and New Mexico, Paul and Peggy raised their seven children together. As a family, they enjoyed camping trips, sing-a-longs, and walking in the mountains. Peggy delighted in the beauty of nature, loved listening to music and singing, and found great pride in her roles as mother and wife. Once her children were grown, Peggy took up a number of hobbies and discovered a talent for weaving, which brought her joy for many years. More recently, she enjoyed watching football with friends and reading the interesting parts of mystery novels. Peggy was a stranger to no one and spread God’s love through her kindness and generosity to others. She was vibrant, joyful, and loving. Memories of her will be carried by many loved ones, friends, and acquaintances. A Rosary Ceremony will be at 7 pm on Friday, September 9th.
