I didn't see the obituary until today, a day late. I feel so badly that I missed Peggy:s funeral. Her mother was my mother's Aunt, but they were only a year apart in age and more like sisters. My mother was Norma Tew Peterson. They both married Peterson men who were not related. Peggy and I grew up like cousins. We got together a few years ago and talked for hours. I'm so glad we did. She was so beautiful and kind. She talked so lovingly about her children, her husband, David, and her sisters. And I got to meet her cat, who seemed to like me right away. We talked about all the Hill reunions. Dinners together now and then, and relatives we'd lost. Time melted away. Such a fun day I'll tuck away and remember often until we meet again. So sad that I didn't get to meet her kids and see her sisters again. I remember them well also. Sendingy my love to you all! Connie Peterson Cluff, Provo, UT

I first met Peggy when she and Dave and their sons , Rob and Jeff moved to Boulder City. We were asked to serve together as visiting, teaching companions. We quickly became close friends. I felt like I had known her before. She was very talented and creative. She shared those talents with many others. Her friends, neighbors, Ward members, school, and community, all benefited from her generous acts of kindness. We loved to get together for walks in the park, lunches, exploring, little shops in Boulder City, yard, sales, service projects, brainstorming ideas, impromptu visits, and church, school and community events. Peggy made friends wherever she went. Her compassion, talents, skills, and generous acts of kindness, blessed the lives of all around her. Her joy in living a Christ -centered life, radiated out to all those around her. She saw the best in other people. You couldn’t help but be happy when you were with her. Peggy loved her family and enjoyed sharing pictures and stories about them. I know she is delighted to be reunited with Dave and enjoy that bond of an eternal marriage and family.
Peggy and I stayed in touch after she moved back to Utah. One year, I stayed with her when attending my mission reunion. Peggy joined me for the evening and was right at home among the happy crowd. It was delightful to spend the evening with her and the rest of the weekend in her home, playing games, sharing books and thoughts from articles she had read, hearing about her family, and life’s challenges. She always had such an optimistic attitude, and a strong faith in the Lord that all would be well. Peggy is truly one of those people who made the world a better place wherever she went. I have been so blessed to have been counted as one of her friends. I look forward to the day when I can greet her again.

When Peggy and Dave moved in our Ward, I was assigned to be her VT. We were like instant friends. We went on a cruise to Alaska with them. We have sweet memories of that trip. Dave was called to be a counselor to my husband when he was Bishop. Peggy had a file of sayings and ideas for any event. She loved to go to yard sales. I would tell her to look for something for me. She always found for me. Three years ago, I spent a few days at her house in Herriman. We went out to eat. When we came back it was snowing. I wanted to put my car in her garage. She had her car in there. I drove my car in next to hers. When we went to get out, we could not open the car doors. It was too tight on both sides of the car. We had to climb out of the windows! It was so hilarious. We laughed and laughed. We never shared that event. I Love Peggy. She is my eternal friend. We shall hug in a future day. I Love Our Savior for His Atonement that we will be resurrected and live again. ❤️ Leslie Leavitt

Those pictures are darling! She was darling! I am so grateful that I got to meet and be with Peggy on occasion over the last few years. To her credit, I felt at ease around her. She was so sweet and kind, thoughtful and caring. I could feel her love for the Lord in how she treated me. Always listening and interested in what I was feeling or sharing. She was very loving. She was fun too! We went to dinner, plays, Robs Graduation, and played games! My husband and I really enjoyed being with her! I remember one of my first times in her home, she had been reading the church news reviewing general conference. Every page was underlined heavily with notes in the margins as if she were trying to internalize every word and not let it go. I knew then that it was very important to her. She is a Gem, I will truly miss her. Debbie Crossley

Peggy was a beautiful woman. Soft spoken and kind. Peggy was recently my visiting sister. She was always sweet and kind. We were able to share as we hugged that we loved each other.She had the most beautiful white hair. I know her family was delighted to be with her again. Barbara Anderson
