Born April 27, 1940, in Montgomery County, she was a daughter of the late Paul Lee and Louise Christenbury Coble. As a young lady in her twenties, Peggy began her career working for the Taylor family with Alliene Furniture Corporation and Taylor Homes in Troy. Her last place of employment was with Troy Lumber Company, where she worked for over 65 years as an accountant until she retired. Peggy truly loved her job. During this time of employment, Peggy had worked for three different generations of the Taylor family. She was also a longtime member of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and enjoyed spending time with her church family.

In her spare time, Peggy loved cooking, baking, reading, going to the mountains, and listening to Bluegrass music. But most of all, Peggy loved each and every moment she spent with her family and friends.
