Peg was born in Verdun and grew up in the Pointe-Claire Village.

George Williams (Concordia University), where she met her husband. She later completed a Bachelor of Education at Sir. George Williams, while raising four children. She was a strong, intelligent woman, who had a quick wit and a strong love and devotion for her family.

She was an Early Childhood Educator and the Director at Whiteside Taylor Daycare, where she worked for 22 years. During retirement, Peg was an avid reader, gardener, knitter, bridge player, art museum and theatre goer, and attended the weekly Beaconsfield Loonie Breakfasts for seniors. She also loved solving the crossword puzzle from the daily newspapers.
