Denny and Peg led a busy life with this family in the communities of Tabor, SD, Kingsley, IA and Marcus, IA.
Peg lost her husband to cancer in 1971 and proceeded to raise 5 children. She held many jobs all which allowed her to share her gift of caring for others. She worked as a librarian, a school secretary, a nanny, and the job she loved the most at Ronald McDonald House in Sioux City.
Peg was proud of all her family’s accomplishments. She was counted on by family members for updates on what was happening in all their lives from Oregon to Pennsylvania and everywhere in between.
