Peggy retired from the Mechanicsburg Area School District, after 15 years of service working as a bus driver.  She was a member of Christian Life Assembly in Camp Hill, where she worked as a housekeeper and attended numerous church functions.  Peggy enjoyed playing Bingo, shopping, and going to yard sales where she could continue to add to her many collections.  She loved going to her favorite beach, Assateague Island State Park, in Ocean City, MD with her family.  Peggy truly was a genuine and one of a kind person with a heart of gold.  She treated everyone as her friend and would do anything for anyone.  Peggy was an amazing “Nanny” to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She is going to be dearly missed by her entire family and all those that got to know her.
