 She was a Baptist by faith, a native of Elizabethton, TN and a medical assistant by trade. Peggy married Phillip Jack Mutter Sr. and together they raised 5 children as a military family, they moved across the country multiple times to Philips’s newest station. Peggy was proud of her husband’s commitment; she worked hard to flawlessly transition the children to their new homes and schools. She was caring and supportive, excited for the places, opportunities and diverse people they encountered along the way. Peggy and Phillip settled in Louisville in 1978 after Phillip’s retirement from the Air Force.
