Peggy was always kind, generous, courageous, soft spoken, loving and made memorable strawberry rhubarb pies! She was a woman of the earth, a gardeners gardener. Her love for family and friends was contagious; and because of that, she was a sustaining member of our community. God bless and care for Peggy eternally, she richly deserves it.

My condolences go out to all of you. Peggy and I were in a weekly coffee group for many years, meeting at Panera in Wilmette. As Dan, Alisa, Libby, Peter and Rose went through Kingsley, we moms looked to each other for guidance and support. Peggy was always a voice of reason and she loved her husband and children with all her heart. She will be greatly missed.

She was such a beautiful person. Her daughter Colleen and I went to school together and also were apart of the same Girl Scout troop where Mrs. White was our Leader. Everytime I would see her around town I would stop and say hello. I loved the fact after all these years she still remembered who I was. I was talking about her the other day and yesterday I heard of her passing. I will always remember her.
