Preparation for interment will be under the direction of Newcomer Funeral Home, Dayton-Xenia Road, Beavercreek. Final disposition will be at David's Cemetery and Mausoleum in Dayton, Ohio. There will be no formal traditional viewing or funeral services due to health issues related to the Covid Virus and long distance travel that would be needed for family members. A celebration-of-life gathering of family members and close friends is planned for a future safe and convenient date. The focus of the Celebration will be on Peggy's many accomplishments in support of Aerospace Technology, old war stories as told by family members and close friends, as well as enjoyment of some of Peggy's favorite music.
