She moved to Pampa in her early twenties. She later married Murl Winegeart. They adopted a baby girl, Tammie. Peggy helped with the farm and combining. She worked as carhop at Caldwell’s Drive Inn, as a waitress, as a salesperson in retail, as a hotel clerk, as a grocery cashier, and sitting with the elderly.
She loved playing Hand and Foot with her ladies’ card group. She always had jigsaw puzzles on her table to work on, and a Sudoku puzzle book by her chair. She did not mind asking visitors to her home for help- “While you’re here!”
