She met the love of her life Paul Wert, a Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. They were married on September 3rd, 1955. After marriage their life involved frequent moves as Paul served in the Air Force. They were stationed in Tennessee, France, Tampa, Montana, Bermuda, North Carolina and Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. After retirement they settled in Birmingham, Alabama on four acres where Peggy and Paul enjoyed gardening, growing fruit trees and bee keeping. They started attending Shades Mountain Bible Church which soon became their church home and remained so for many years.

It was the tragic accident of her daughter that motivated Peggy to become a volunteer at Shelby Hospital where she served for many years. Peggy loved spending time with her many friends especially on trips to the beach. Most of all Peggy cherished time spent with her children and grandchildren. She was a devout Christian with a steadfast, deeply personal and intimate faith in Christ. Throughout her life she lived her faith authentically through real acts of service and kindness.
