  1. You were so much more than a colleague or “Work-Wife” – you were a true, dear friend that I’ll miss immensely! Heaven has gained a great angel, but this mortal world seems quite a bit emptier already without you in it! Rest in peace and enjoy your Eternal reward that you so richly deserve!

  2. I truly miss my dear friend. But I am glad she is no longer in pain and is at peace. Peggy inspired me to be a better person. I am blessed that she was in my life. 💔😢

  3. When I think of genuine, I think of Peggy. When I met her over 35 years ago, I never imagined a friendship would begin, but it did. Peggy took care of both my grandfather, then months later, my grandma. Peggy was just starting out and took a liking to me, as I was inquistive of the career path she took. Without hesitation, she took me under her wing and helped me navigate through her career path. Peggy put her heart and soul into all she did because to her, it was more than a career, but a calling, which she did with love and compassion. I am glad we kept in contact on and off over the years. Eleven years ago, Peggy yet again held my family with compassion and love as we laid my dad down to rest. I am a better person, having known Peggy for all these years and her example of compassion and grace in all she did. Heaven gained a special angel, and the earth lost a beautiful soul. RIP Peggy; the difference you made in this world can never be replaced.
    Love, Kimmie

  4. Peggy was an extremely down to earth person. Her love and concern for others and her faithfulness and devotions shined in all she did. Peggy was caring and made me feel comfortable in some of the most unclear and sad situations. I thank her for being the wonderful person she was and will miss her.

  5. My family and I are heartbroken to hear of the loss of Peggy. Peggy and I met in college and have been good friends for over 35 years. Peggy was such a dear friend and even though my family moved to Florida back in 2008 we still remained good friends. Loved and will miss all our conversations and laughs about day to day adventures and family. So blessed to have such a wonderful friend in my life. To the Shaffer family we are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you find comfort with all the memories you have shared. Peggys in God’s loving hands.

May she rest in eternal peace 🙏 prayers for the family.

I will miss her so much.

      I am very sorry to hear of Peggy’s passing. Seipp street brought us together as neighbors. Peggy was very compassionate towards everyone and truly was exceptional at her job. A very caring person. I enjoyed bumping into Peggy over the years, always a quick and nice visit.
