A proud graduate of Alexis I. DuPont High School in Wilmington, Delaware, Peg completed her studies in 1958.

Peg was a devoted wife and mother who poured her energy into supporting her children’s education and extracurricular activities. She served as President of the PTA and, with her husband was Co-Chair of the North Augusta High School Band Boosters and worked as a substitute teacher at several of her children's schools.

Her love for her grandchildren was evident in the time she spent teaching them how to crab and fish with a cane pole on many family beach trips. A lifelong dream and one of her favorite adventures was treating her children and grandchildren to a trip to Disney World. In the past three years her great-granddaughter, Harper, was the apple of her eye.
