Peggy will be remembered by her family as a loving, caring, and compassionate mother and grandmother. Peggy enjoyed planning Family trips, family meals, or big holiday parties. She was always up for a game of canasta with her grandchildren. She mirrored that same love into her work as nurse for her patients, co-workers, and friends. She inspired many of her family members, who are also nurses or in the health care field.
The family of Peggy would like to thank Hospice Care of Charleston for all the compassionate care and support given to our Mom and Mawmaw during her last days. Especially Beth, Whitney, Jenn, and Kaycie.
