Born March 15, 1925 in Williamsport she was a daughter of the late Frank and Mary (Case) Weaver.
Peg was a faithful member of Buchanan Baptist Church. As a devoted Christian she prayed daily, and helped with church functions especially fellowship dinners. Peg was one of seven women who helped start Sybil Mills where she was employed for 10 years as a seamstress before staying home to care for her family.
Throughout the course of her life, she became known for her homemaker ways. From canning, to her scratch cooking and baking, her homemade meals were always a delicious treat especially if they included her baked beans and a homemade pie. She always knew just the right or the exact ingredient to add to make the dish complete.
For over 25 years Peg would deliver her homemade cookies to local nursing homes for residents. She also could be found gardening, crafting and attending craft shows in her earlier years. Above all else, Peg loved her family, cooking for them and spending time with them.
