I knew Peggy in Santa Barbara. She helped a lot of women in AA. She was really nice to me.
She was my sister in law but more than that, a soul connection with a beautiful being and with her sister Meredith, my wife and sister in law Patsy Noble Dickson
I met Peggy through a mutual friend when she lived in Santa Barbara. Later I went to AA meetings with her in Salem, Or. She knew where all the meetings were. Peggy was always helping other people and did 12 Step work like no other. May you rest in peace. God bless you Peggy.
Peggy was a very gentle soul. Kind and caring to everyone she met. We did aerobics together for many years and shared many warm moments during breaks while sweating with the "oldes". I'll miss her. Holding all her friends and family in my heart and prayers.
I'll see you in the yellow field of flowers
When we were little girls, my twin sister Peggy wore green or blue ribbons in her hair, I wore pink or red ribbons so people could tell us apart ... unless we switched ribbons. I will miss her forever....
She was the best friend I have ever known and I will miss her smile ♡♡♡♡♡
I am so saddened by the news of Peggy's passing. She was so loved by all those who were blessed to have known her.
We are so saddened at hearing of the passing of Peggy, Pres' first cousin. She was loved by so many! We remember good times spent with her during the early years of the annual family reunion first in San Diego, then in Santa Barbara. She was famous for her wonderful potato salad!
Praying that you take very good care of yourself, Skip.
Our hearts go out to you and the family.
love, Preston and Pat Spalding
