Peggy was a 1967 graduate at Kenton High School. She began her working career at the Midway Restaurant while in high school, then moved on to being a US Government employee and finished with a 25 year stint working for Walmart, retiring from the Wapakoneta location.

Peggy knew not a stranger, making friends everywhere she went. She once in a while got turned around with her directions when traveling. Her laughter could be heard above all others. She loved to bake and cook, read, swim and go boating and camping. Her daughter and granddaughter were her world and was ever so proud of them. She was a tough lady that overcame a lot of diversity.

The family would like to thank their sister Marilyn Houchins, Mary Rutan Hospital, Mercy Health-St. Rita’s Hospital and OSU Wexner Hospital for their excellent care of Peggy.
