She moved back to North Carolina in the mid 1970’s and settled down in Stanley, NC where she raised her three sons. Peggy was also very instrumental in raising her grandchildren, great grandchildren and anyone else who needed a helping hand. She left behind a host of relatives, friends and in-laws.
