Peggy was a retired federal employee and though she held many positions over the years, her favorite was working in the White House Gift Unit accepting the many and varied gifts sent to the Presidents during several Administrations. A great storyteller, Peggy entertained her family and friends with tales of her job and family adventures. She was an avid reader and enjoyed visiting historical sites. However, her greatest joy was gathering with family and friends with her dogs.
Peggy was a loved and special person to many and will be greatly missed.
