years representing DHR and Pilot Club, and serving as secretary many of those years. She was
chairman and secretary of the Board of Directors for the Project Lifesaver Program 18 plus
years. Everyone that work alongside Peggy is greatly saddened by the loss of this dear friend.
It has been an honor to have served with her for 25 years. Peggy was a kind and loving person,
always soft spoken and serving others with a servant’s heart.
As a member of Dripping Springs Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution for nine
years, Peggy served as recording secretary, vice regent and was currently serving as regent.
She chaired many chapter committees and attended many State Conferences and National
Continental Congresses. Peggy was a dedicated member of DAR, always looking for ways to
further the purposes of God, home and country.
As a retired county employee, Peggy was also an active member of Alabama Retired State
Employees Association. She enjoyed brunch meetings with the Coterie Women’s Club.
Peggy was an AVID supporter of the University of Alabama, never missing a televised game.
She also enjoyed crossword puzzles, soap operas, rescuing and adopting homeless cats and
Swamp John’s Meals.
Above all else, Peggy was a loving and devoted mother to John.
