Peggy met Jack while she was an art student at Alfred University.  They married in 1946 and moved to Webster in 1951.  Peggy was active in Webster Scouting, Webster Presbyterian Church and was a member of Webster Presbyterian Guild. An accomplished artist, her water colors adorn family homes. As a skilled seamstress, she created many stylish outfits, wedding gowns and bridesmaid dresses; she upholstered many beautiful furniture pieces, fashioned cushions and pillows for friends and family. A talented and prolific hand quilter, she created quilts for cribs to king sized beds!  A pioneer of the Genesee Valley Quilt Club, she served as president and was inducted as an honorary member.  Her memory will live on in the beautiful pieces she created.

A memorial service will be held at a later date when we can gather safely.  In her memory, the family would be honored to have you support either the Webster Comfort Care Home (c/o Canandaigua National Bank/1155 Ridge Road /Webster, NY 14580) or the Veteran’s Outreach Center (459 South Avenue/Rochester NY 14620).
