Peg was born in Auburn, NY on May 11,1955. I worked for 32 years for the state on New York in the department of corrections and the juvenile justice system as a teacher and education administrator. In September of 2010, I retired and my husband Dave and I moved to South Carolina, first living in Greenville, and now living in Hardeeville. Together we have 5 children, 6 grandchildren and two great grand children. My hobbies include bike riding, golf and many other outdoor activities. I enjoy being involved in local community activities.

I have dedicated my life to the service of others, that being said,I became involved in this project because, I believe that crisis grants help meet immediate short-term needs when an emergency or a disaster has happened, and there would be a risk to well being without a grant.
