She married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, Glen Edward Hebert on May 22, 1971 at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Groves, Texas. They spent every moment of their lives together, living their vocation to Sacramental Marriage for 50 years and 6 months. They raised 6 children together in Bridge City, Texas where they were involved in all facets of their community and their church, St. Henry's. Peggy worked alongside Glen to serve the Church in many different parish assignments as a deacon's wife in all that vocation entails. Peggy's life was dedicated to children. She spent many years at home raising her family and many years teaching children of all ages from preschoolers in early education to high school Math. After she retired she enjoying doting on her 11 grandchildren. She volunteered at her local schools in her retirement and also spent many Mondays with Glen volunteering at the local food bank.

In memory of Peggy, we ask that you take a moment to hug your spouse, your child, your grandchildren or your friend-- take a walk in nature, take a picture of a sunset, bake a meal for a friend or take a moment in prayer. Time waits for no one.

"May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your fields. And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand." - Peggy's favorite Gaelic blessing.
