She was also a long-time, faithful member of Northside Baptist Church. Together, Peg and her husband Bob devoted their hearts to serving their community with compassion and care through Brucker & Kishler Funeral Home.

The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to Hospice of Central Ohio and the entire staff at The Inn at Chapel Grove for the many years of compassionate care, kindness, and support they provided to Peg. They are also deeply thankful for the wonderful friendships Peg formed over the years, which brought so much joy and meaning to her life.
