Peg enjoyed family ski vacations, trips to Walt Disney World and spending the summers with Bob and her family in Wells, ME. Peg was always called upon by family and friends for her wisdom and advice or just a listening ear.  She was the best advocate and strongest supporter through any circumstance.  She loved sewing and cooking for her family. Her family will miss her delicious dinners, which always included much laughter and meaningful conversation around the table.
