A lifelong resident of Colonial Heights, Peggy retired as a computer programmer from Fort Lee after many years of dedicated service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to a charity of your choice in Peggy’s memory. “You fought bravely. We watched your fight and you will be forever in our hearts. Your suffering will no longer be, as God has given you eternal rest from your pain.” – your loving family.
