Peggy had a fire about her that those who knew her did not want to cross. She was a speak-your-mind kind of woman who told it like it was. When she loved you, she loved with her whole heart. She loved seeing her babies grow up and turn into men and begin families of their own, but always missed the one whom she held in her heart for the past 24 years Scotty. She and Scotty both shared their skill with the beat and often she ran many girls off the dance floor at the numerous Shadowfacts shows to watch her boys. She had a deep love for music and often filled the home with it. She was an amazing cook and loved trying new things. She would show her grandchildren how to "throw down" in the kitchen be it peach cobbler or potato salad. She loved spending the time to share the knowledge. She loved going to visit the grandbabies and loved watching them grow through Facebook. She will be missed by so many but we will smile in our hearts when we hear an old Conway song. Rest easy Peggy Jo and give our loved ones a big hug from all of us. We will hold it down here until we meet again. We love you dearly.
Visitation will be held on Friday, December 28, 2018 from 9:30 am to 10:30 am at Newcomer North Chapel (4104 Needmore Rd., Dayton, Ohio 45424). Funeral service will begin at 10:30 am. Burial will follow in Forest Hills Memorial Gardens.
