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.
