We were sorry to read of Peggy's passing; both she and Toby were important to us as members of Monona United Methodist Church when we joined in 1972. We sang in the choir with Peggy and enjoyed her smiles and friendly personality, as well as her musical ability. She and I had a special joke together...we were both Peggys, but I was MargarET and she was MarguerITE. We know you will miss her dearly.

Peggy came into my life with her beautiful singing voice, followed by her laughter and love of life.
We followed each other through the chairs in Eastern Star and thus traveled many miles with smiles, laughter, heart to hearts and joy. We even managed to con Toby and Gary into a Caribbean Cruise.
I will always remember all the laughter and joy we shared. I miss you my friend, but know that you are lending your voice with the Angelic Chorus.

Peg was by far one of the best nurses I had the honor to work with. She was a wonderful strong, loving woman who will be surely missed by all. Blessed Be
