Peggy grew up living in many different places, as her father served in the United States Navy.

In 1993, she and Derald moved to Missouri and she became the Head Start manager for Mountain Grove and Cabool. She retired in 2010. Peggy was a very patient person with everyone she encountered. She loved all the beautiful colors of the rainbow, nature, fresh air, cold clean water, and all of God’s beautiful creation. She greatly enjoyed her church family at Willow Springs Free Will Baptist Church. In her spare time, Peggy liked to read a good book. She and Derald also traveled together and saw many wonderful places.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Dorothy Jenne, and by her grandmother, Rose Totten.
