In memory of our Dearest Aunt Peggy,
Our paths crossed many times, throughout the years. We especially remember you and Grandmother Lorretta during a 1984 summer European vacation. It was incredibly special for us and a lifetime memory that we were able to meet up in Lucerne Switzerland. Our last visit also occurred in Europe, this one we hold very dear as well, your Rhine River Cruise in 2015 that luckily, docked in Speyer Germany, a town next to where we lived at the time. Was so nice for all of us to have a chance to catch up, visit and eat good food and see some special sites. We were happy to host and show you around Heidelberg Germany for a day! We will always love and cherish those visits! Really going to miss your calls, emails and caring presence in our lives! Was especially comforting for me, to spend the week with you and my father (Larry) during his last days. You brought a calm and presence that helped us all cope through that extremely difficult time.
In loving memory of a wonderful Aunt. We will love you and miss you always..... Your nephew Mike and Wife Petra O’Neill

Peggy was one of a kind. Her enthusiastic attitude, warmth, caring and spiritual joy encompassed all who were within hearing distance of her unique laugh. My family met Peggy and Chuck in the late 70's. Along with another dear family, the Fellings, including all of our children we were henceforth known as 'the dirty dozen'. Since we were 'holiday homeless' as none of us had any nearby relations we spent all significant events together. We traversed teen years, high school, college admissions, marriages, births, illness, deaths, failures, successes and always wrapped in the special friendship.

May God hold you in His hand, Peggy. Thank you for being such a blessing in our lives.
From a fellow former Oklahoman.
