She also enjoyed crafts, embroidery and reading.

While in Adrian, she was variously employed, 19 years at Bixby Hospital, data processing; 20 years at Adrian Telegram Newsroom; and several restaurants including the one-time Rainbow Ice Cream Bar. She was a true and loyal friend.

Peggy is survived by one daughter, Kerri Lyn Smith, with whom she made her home; one son, (Jack) Douglas Bater of Colorado; three granddaughters, Laurel Florek, Melissa Warner and Paula Florek, all of Ohio; one grandson, Raj A. Bater of Milan, Michigan; four great-grandchildren, Myles Moyer, Ryder Florek, Austin Florek and Madilyn Warner, all of Ohio.
