Peggy had a passion for all things Crimson Tide, Roll Tide! She loved dancing with Pop, they would jitterbug the night away. Her hobbies included sewing, painting ceramics, reading, fishing, playing backgammon and cribbage. She loved it when her family would gather to play cards and dominos. She would cook a delicious meal including her famous chocolate cake and fried apple pies. Peggy loved traveling to different places. She took trips to Italy, Alaska, Hawaii, and New Jersey. She traveled out west to see the Grand Canyon, Sedona, Arizona, and Las Vegas, NV. She enjoyed all of the cultural art, the bright colors in the casinos, bingo and the pinging of the slot machines. She loved discussing the different nature found around the world. She was fascinated by God's creation and would always quote her mother saying "If you want to see the colors that go together, look at God's creation". Peggy's favorite place was her little cabin in Orange Beach, AL. She was proud to provide a vacation home for her family to enjoy the white, sunny shore. Peggy was asked in her final days what she enjoyed most about life and her response was being a mother.
