Peggy loved Jesus, family, and her many friends! She also loved her church, and watching the Cowboys, Spurs and “Dancing with the Stars”. But, most of all she loved spending time with her family and friends at the Hickey 4E Ranch. Peggy also loved to plan and host parties and showers for all her friends and family. No event was complete without her final touches to all the decorations! After moving to San Antonio in 1949 Peggy became active in Trinity Baptist Church where she taught Sunday school, and was social chairman of her class. Peggy was also active in Sunshine Singers, a group that went to nursing homes and other similar facilities to spread some ‘’Sunshine” through song and entertainment. She served as President of the Alliance to the San Antonio Dental Society, and was a member of the Discimus Study Club over fifty years. Peggy lived a wonderful life and brought beauty, love and faith to all who knew her.
