In 1999, Peggy retired from the family business to do the things she loved including, traveling and spending time with her family.

She enjoyed spending time with her friends, Fred & Leslie Parrish and Clint & Patty Holmes. Peggy liked to stay connected to her extended family in Maine and last but never least, to spoil for her favorite poodles, Peaches & Patches.
