With her impeccable taste and genuine warmth, she had a special gift for helping people look their best and feel confident, beautiful, and valued. She built lasting relationships throughout her career.
Peggy’s legacy lives on through the family she cherished, the friendships she nurtured, and the countless lives she touched. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.
