Peggy was born in Douglas, Georgia on March 14, 1946. With her parents and brother, she moved to Jacksonville, Florida at an early age. She and her husband, Dr. Randolph A.

She attended Valdosta State College in Valdosta, Georgia and graduated from Michigan State University with a BA degree in education. Her hobby was knitting as she was also an avid reader. She and her husband have lived in East Lansing since 1968 and during that time Peggy served as a volunteer for many civic organizations; she also volunteered as an assistant kindergarten teacher at Lansing Christian Elementary School for eighteen years assisting her wonderful friend, Judy Person. Peggy's passion for Lansing Christian School, the entire staff and her students ran very deep.
