I am so saddened to learn of Peggy's passing. I worked with Peggy and Don Beckhart for eight years or so. Those were some of the happyest times during my work life. Peggy made many wonderful items during those years. God bless Peggy and Al.
Love,
Steve

I am so sad to hear that Peggy has passed. She has "watched" me grow up in OVR. I worked with her under Teresa Suter, Div of Support Svs about 25 years ago. I worked with her and Don Beckhart at the State Fair for several years. She was a blast. When I gave birth to my son; she made him a beautiful blanket and booties. I think of her every Christmas...she has made my immediate family's Christmas Stockings. I will NEVER forget Peggy!

I have worked with Peggy for many years and am very saddened to hear of her passing. I will always remember how much she liked to crochet and all the beautiful things she made. She was a very talented and devoted person. Peggy will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear of Peggy's passing.
I enjoyed working with her at VR and having numerous conversations about her family and church.
I recall giving her quilting pieces after my grandmother died -- for the church sewing group. And I will always remember the "baby booties" she crocheted for our co-workers.
Peggy was someone you could always count on! She will be missed.
