"Peggy was such a sweet lady. I have fond memories of her! Thoughts of comfort sent to all.

"I knew Peggy as the Secretary of the ASU Political Science Department in the 1970s. While I have also, like Brad Baker, not seen her in several years, I remember her warmly. My condolences to her family.

"Knew and worked with Ms Peggy at ASU Housing for several years (1980-1990). She was a real lady and a pleasure to work with. While I have not seen her in many years I'll always remember she had a kind heart and was dedicated to her family and work. God bless you all, I'm certain she will be sorely missed.
