In 1964 Peggy and Louis moved to Odessa, Texas where she was a housewife and mother. In 1981 they moved to Brownwood and lived here until her passing.
Peggy learned to cook at the young age of 8 thus began her love for cooking. She always made sure she cooked enough food for anyone who stopped by. She loved baking and some of her specialties were pies, cakes, cookies, candies and hot rolls.
She was blessed with three grandchildren, Christie, Chad and Casey, who loved spending time at their Nana’s house. Peggy was a great seamstress and was constantly making clothes, dolls, blankets and many other items for her grandkids.
Peggy was an avid bowler. She and Louis bowled on a Couples league for many years. She loved working outside, decorating her house for holidays and going to Winstar with her husband.
She was a housewife until the late 80’s. At this time, she began working in the cafeteria in Bangs. She baked the rolls and desserts, which made her very happy. She then worked in the cafeteria at South Elementary, Northwest Elementary, Brownwood High School and Woodland Heights. After retiring from BISD, she stayed home to take care of her daughter Sherry before she passed.
