Peggy was out-going and outspoken, a strong advocate for women, and loved music, serving as her church organist for many years. She was an original ‘do-it-yourselfer', sewing her own and her daughters' clothes for many years, as well as tastefully and frugally making a comfortable home for her family. She and her husband actively supported their daughters' pursuits and achievements in higher education and careers, as well as their interests in dance, sports, and music. She earned an undergraduate degree in sociology and journalism from Oklahoma State University, served as a substitute teacher for some years, taught typing at Arkansas Enterprises for the Blind, and later worked as an executive secretary at A.O. Smith Industries. Funeral services will be held on Friday, November 16 at 11 a.m., preceded by visitation beginning at 10 a.m. at Little Rock Funeral Home, 8801 Knoedl Ct.
