They settled into their family home in Powder Springs, Georgia in 1964 where they lived for 58 years. Peggy loved being a part of the Powder Springs community and raising her children here. She and the children spent many hours at the Powder Springs Ballpark while they were growing up. Peggy had a personal relationship with God, and she and Wilbur were members of the First Baptist Church of Powder Springs for many years. Peggy enjoyed watching all kinds of sports, but she was particularly fond of Georgia football. She had a love of horses and loved spending time taking care of and riding her horse Honey Gal whenever she could. Peggy’s greatest passion in life, however, was working out in her yard. Peggy had an eye for landscaping and a green thumb that allowed her to transform the saddest of plants into a thriving beauty. Peggy invested all her time into raising her family, she was a wonderful and loving mother that radiated a natural beauty. Her presence will be forever missed.
