Mrs. Dupps & her husband 'Jack' have done a great deal of good for the community of Germantown, and their children have carried on that tradition. She and Jack had to have been wonderful parents.

The first time I met her.....a visit to Ellen's home, from college. Our roommate was concerned that we wear the right thing, because we were going to see "Mrs. Dupps!!" I had no idea what to expect, but, of course, she was warm, and gracious, and welcoming.....and fun.....just like her daughter, Ellen. With just a touch of mischief in the air......again, like Ellen. She was lovely. Sending hugs to her family. Amid your tears, also count your blessings. She was your blessing.

Peg was one of a kind woman who was so gracious & giving. Enjoyed being in her presence daily. We would laugh & enjoy the moment. I referred to her as Mom when talking with Maryann. Enjoy your wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
