Peggy was a talented cosmetologist, a career that began after she graduated from high school and cosmetology school. She fulfilled her dream of owning her own business, Peggy's Beauty Shop, in Oklahoma City which she closed to begin working at Ed Londagon Hair Salon. In total she did hair for 40+ years. Her clients loved her not only for her skills but for the warmth and friendship she offered to everyone who sat in her chair. Outside of her work, Peggy was a woman of many passions. Her faith never wavered in believing Gods promise, this is something she was very passionate about. She loved gardening, solving puzzles, making clothes and costumes, and crafting holiday decorations. She also enjoyed trips to the casino and had a special fondness for collecting cows and Santa Claus figurines. Her kitchen was always open for family gatherings, where she delighted in cooking for her loved ones. Peggy never met a stranger, and her gift for conversation and storytelling made her a beloved figure in her community. One of her favorite sayings was, "her father told her all good girls are home by dark," a piece of wisdom she often shared with a smile. During bible study, she once told Milton Allen that he needed to become a preacher, and she was proud to be one of the original members of Piney Creek Fellowship Church.
