I worked with Peggy for many years at the Oriole Park library and she was always the sweetest and most caring person I met. I loved working with her each and everyday and I always loved hearing the stories she would share about her family and seeing her light up whenever she talked about them. She was always supportive and would do anything she could to help. She was simply the greatest.
