Peggy, Nanny, Nanny Puddin, Pretty, Purdy, PeyPey,  whatever you called her. to know Peggy, was to love her. Peggy was born and raised in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. While she wore many different hats during her time here on this earth from caregiver, bingo champion, district manager, mother, grandmother, - one thing was for certain, Peggy could overcome just about anything and come out smiling on the other side. She had an infectious personality that would make you laugh right along with her, even in the toughest of times. She was willing to give you the shirt off of her back to just help a stranger in need. While Peggy was known for her stubbornness and strong will, her family is thankful for those traits as they gave us the opportunity to make memories, we will hold close to our hearts forever. Peggy leaves behind a legacy of loving family and friends all of whom she has touched with her kind heart and giving spirit.
