Not sure what to say?

It was an honor knowing Peggy. She was a wonderful, and passionate women, especially when it came to causes near and dear to her heart. I will miss her.

My sincere condolences to the family.
I first met Peggy in 2017 when, never having met, we agreed to be roommates on a Mexico City trip. We had a great time and I found her delightful. We kept in touch and saw each other when she visited Tucson. My last contact was early 2020 when she told me she was ill.

Peggy was such a special person. Came back to her Ohio roots in Perry County, nearly every year. What a pleasure it was to know Peggy and Pat. We will miss her, and I'll especially miss our long phone calls about family and politics...and my Reds versus her beloved Rockies. RIP Peggy.

Peggy was a member of my curves exercise facility. We enjoyed her very much. She was a firecracker! It was an honor to know her. Blessings to her family, Patty & Steve Ortiz

My dear confidant from our years in Aurora, Democratic Party politics and living near each other during her DC residency as Clinton appointees. A wonderful counselor and steadfast friend who lit up the room with her presence. And will always treasure our Fred and Ginger dance number!
