She is survived by her beloved husband of 53 years, Larry, and her wonderful girls, Stephanie Brooke (Mark) Whinstanley and Jessica Elizabeth "Libby" (Mike) Morgan.

Other survivors are Steve (Linda)Curtis and Allen (Marybeth) Curtis of Little Rock, her dog, Maggie and lots of extended family and friends.

Peggy will always be remembered for her sweet, loving spirit and ever-present smile. The love she had for her family, friends and her giving heart. She was a Jesus girl and offers so much to the lives of ladies who were battling the same disease she fought for nine years. Heaven gained a beautiful lady of grace.
