Peggy graduated from Shinglehouse High School. She was a longtime employee of St. Francis Hospital and Olean General Hospital, where she later volunteered.

In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by two sisters, Genette Spees and Letha (Robert) Moyer; a brother, Thomas Spees; and a brother-in-law, Donald (Barbara) Campbell.

A memorial service will be held at a later date to be announced.
