She graduated from Bloomingdale High School in 1973 and then worked for L. Perrigo Company for over 20 years. She is fondly remembered by many friends and family for her short height and her sweet, but feisty spirit.

In 2016, she reconnected with her special friend Lyle Linsemier, who became the love of her life. She spent her remaining years in quiet happiness with him.
Peggy was blessed with two daughters, Lisa Hunt and Brandy (Davis) Yntema; as well as three grandchildren, Kaun, Lily, and Neil. She is survived by her children and grandchildren; multiple nephews and their families; her beloved, Lyle Linsemier, and many long-time friends.
