Peggy was a member of Royal Baptist Church and loved her Sunday school class, she was a very Godly woman. She enjoyed traveling, flea marketing and setting up late, playing games with family and friends and she was an avid cook. She and Kenneth, her first husband, owned and operated Ken’s House of Guns in Texarkana, and retired and moved to DeQueen and opened Ken’s RV Sales. Ken couldn’t see well so Peggy did all the towing of the campers. She retired after forty-five years working at her businesses and she also enjoyed working the gun shows for over twenty years.
