Peggy worked for over 20 years at the Wise ARH Hospital. She began as a cook and worked her way up into a position as an operating room technician. She was not only a hard worker, but she was a smart worker as well. She kept an immaculate home and loved to crochet and knit. Peggy was kindhearted, but she was also known for speaking her mind.
