Peg was a waitress and bartender at the former “Joe and Eddie’s” (now Bulldog Crossing) in Elkhart for nearly 30 years and also worked at the Market Center Walmart in Goshen for 15 years. She was a lifetime member of Women of the Moose 1047 and DAV Chapter 15, both of Goshen, as well at Grace Lutheran Church in Elkhart. She enjoyed her grandchildren, traveling (especially to Las Vegas) and making lap blankets to donate to various organizations and charities.
