Peggy was an avid Bluffton Beaver fan as so many that loved her know. She was an eccentric, warm and caring person in so many loving ways…if she met you once, she knew YOUR birthdate and most of your family members as well. So…for all that knew and loved Peggy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Survivors include a sister-in-law, Marie Ruggley of Butler, Kentucky; a nephew, Ray (Sue) Ruggley of Lima and eighteen nieces and nephews.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Larry Ruggley, Ray Ruggley, Sr. and a sister, Diana Mae Ruggley.
