Halloween was by far her favorite and she was known among the neighborhood children for her scary decorations. Peg was an avid gardener with a very green thumb. She loved working in her garden and the neighbors were always commenting on how pretty her flowers were. She enjoyed sharing stories, and her love for Christ, with family and friends. Peg enjoyed thrift shopping and collecting antique glassware, and the thrill of a good deal. She loved her flashy jewelry and big rings and wore them for every occasion. Peg had a kind and loving heart, and she lived life her way. Peg has three granddaughters April (Doug) Wilcoxson, Crystal Dillon, and Rebecca (Mark) Stollar. Four great-grandchildren, Colton Dillon, Garrett Dillon, Abby Dillon and Cayde Cook. And one great-great-grandchild, Daxon Dillon.
