Peg supported his career travelling as far as Florida, where David III was born, Arizona, where Bill was born, and finally back to Ohio for the third time where they settled down for keeps to watch their boys get married and give them the blessing of fantastic grand-children.

Peggy was a member of TOPS, attending the same chapter for decades, enjoying bingo and much travel with her best friend Joyce Hizer, and playing euchre with her card club.

The family is deeply indebted to the staffs of Dayspring Health Care Center and Soin Medical Center for their exceptional level of care during her stays with them.

There are no words to describe our love for the staff and volunteers at Dayton Hospice, they are the most caring and compassionate group you could ask for.
