Temple and their wonderful adventure began.  They built and lived in their home in Bountiful for more than 62 years, where they raised four children.  Her greatest joys are: Gary (Charlotte), Duane (Susan), Randall (Brenda), and Patricia (Tim) Haslam.  A tribute to the incredible mom she was is having all of her children live within two miles of their home.  Her life was greatly blessed with 15 wonderful grandchildren, and five great-grandchildren.  Her family was her greatest priority and she dedicated her life to blessing theirs.

She treasured her extended family and was consistently the favorite aunt.

Having a strong testimony, she served faithfully in countless church callings.  She especially loved serving as ward and stake Primary and Relief Society Presidents.

She was an incredible seamstress, quilter, crafter, and friend.  Her home was beautifully decorated for every holiday.   She loved to visit and always made everyone feel loved and important.  She loved hamburgers, painted nails, and red roses.

Peggy was extremely outgoing and loved everyone she came in contact with.  Her life focused on service and helping others.  She was loved and adored by everyone, and never missed an opportunity to make a new friend.
