Peggy was an elementary school teacher and taught almost 30 years at West Elementary School in Cullman. Peggy was born at home in Eutaw, AL. She attended the University of Alabama where she met her husband Wallace in a freshman English class. They traveled the world together and loved spending their time between Cullman and their house on Dauphin Island. She was a woman of grace and dignity and loved the Lord. She was the epitome of a truce southern lady and steel magnolia.

The family would like to thank the caring staff of Florence Nursing and Rehab Memories unit. The family will have a private memorial service. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Global Methodist Church.
