Peggy was the youngest of three children born to Vesta Elizabeth (Thomas) and Jesse Liggett of Omaha, Nebraska. As a child, she looked just like Shirley Temple, including the curls.
Peggy was known for her beautiful smile. At a USO dance, she met Courtney Martin, who like her, loved to dance. They were married 21 years and had four children.
In addition to being a "Rosie the Riveter" she was a long distance telephone operator, switchboard operator, an accountant at Mercury Motor Express, and a homemaker, and was familiar with sacrifice.
Her fellow workers called her "Cinderella," as she was swept off her feet and moved to Fort Lauderdale with her new husband, Robert Snead. They traveled extensively, collecting art and fine wines. They also enjoyed Miami' s ballet, symphony, orchestral events and theatre, and cultivated lifelong relationships with key participants. They truly enjoyed Miami Dolphins games, booster clubs and serving on the boards. Peggy also loved to sew.
Peggy suffered with dementia/Alzheimer's Disease. She had lived at The Village on the Green since 2005. She was preceded in death by her husband, Robert Snead, and her sister, Eunice Brutto. Survivors include a sister, Marjorie Bessey; four children; 13 grandchildren; and 11 great grandchildren. She loved and was loved, and will be lovingly missed.
