Family was very important to Peggy, she loved taking photos and cherished filling her house with memories of her family.
Peggy is survived by her husband, Larry Davis. Her two daughters, Michelle (Frank) Bohman, and Laura (Jared) Niccum. Her brother, George (Cindy) Hardesty. Her five grandchildren, Michael, Meredith, and Matthew Bohman, and Brinley and Davis Niccum and several nieces and nephews. Finally, her two pets Tootsie and MeShe.
