Peggy was a beautiful person and we will greatly miss her. May she rest in peace now and may all her many good works go with her. May you all find comfort and peace during this difficult time.

I was saddened to learn of Peggy’s passing. I enjoyed knowing Peggy these past 16 years with the St. Mary’s Quilters. She was a true lady with a beautiful soul. My condolences to her family as I’m sure she will be missed by all.
Our thoughts and prayers for the family and friends. Peggy was one of the most considerate and kind people I’ve ever met. She never made a negative comment about anyone but turned every situation into a positive one. You could feel the warmth and love radiating from Peggy whenever you spoke with her. Her quiet demeanor did not diminish the effect she had on people with her Christian attitude and example. She will be greatly missed by many.
Peggy was the sweetest soul to walk this earth. There are no words that will ease your pain, but I hope you find comfort and solace in knowing she is reunited with Jackie and Elaine. May all of the wonderful memories bring you peace and remember that her legacy lives on in each of you, your children and their children. Much love to you all.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Peggy during this tring time. She will be greatly missed. She always treated me like family and I thought of her as the same. Her warm smile and gestures will be greatly missed.
We are going to miss Peggy at Quilters by the Bay even though she has been “missing” for a little bit. At least we have her Black and White Cheesecake bar recipe. God Bless her family.
