Peggy was a delightful, kind and generous person who would do anything for you. She was funny and had a great sense of humor. It was a pleasure and an honor to work with her at the Grand Blanc High School library for many years. We had a great time together at work and after hours as well. I will always have fond memories of her. Rest in peace, Peggy.
