Peggy was born on April 19, 1965 at Huron Road Hospital. Peggy grew up in Richmond Heights, attended Richmond Heights High School and The Ohio State University. She earned her Masters in Education from John Carroll University and went on to teach in the Beachwood School System before retiring in 2005 to stay home with her children. While at Beachwood, she taught Home Economics and coached Volleyball. She has been a resident of Kirtland since 2003 previously residing in Mentor. She was very proud of her career and looked forward every day to going to work, even through her 20+ year journey with M.S. She wanted so much to help be a part of the cure. Her children and family gave her the most enjoyment in life and she treasured spending time with them as much as possible. Her family says she would do anything for you, was quite feisty at times and always took a straight-on approach but always with love. She volunteered her time as much as she was able at her children’s school and her church, Old South.

A Memorial Service will be held on Friday January 7, 2011 at 11:00 AM at Old South Church, UCC, 9802 Chillicothe Road, Kirtland, 44094.
