The young family moved to Niles, IL where Peggy joined the faculty at St. John Brebeuf School and taught there for four years until they moved to Palatine in 1969 to raise their three children. The family joined St. Theresa Parish. Peggy continued her teaching career at St. Theresa School retiring in 1999 thirty years later. Peggy loved teaching second grade because it was the year she prepared the children for the Sacrament of Holy Communion.

In retirement Peggy continued to tutor individual students and substitute teach. She was never far from school books. She now had time to tend to gardening, baking, book clubs and volunteering. Peggy cherished her long-standing friendships; the Bridge Ladies from her Niles years, Ladies of the Roundtable in Palatine and many other dear friendships she always treasured. Jack and Peggy enjoyed spending winter months in Siesta Key with lifelong friends from the Midwest.
Peggy's children, grandchildren and great grandchildren brought her extraordinary joy. Spending time with them on the phone or in person as she generously listened and unconditionally loved each of them. Peggy adored being an Aunt to many nieces and nephews.
