She was born on December 6, 1957 in Keene, NH, the daughter of Arno E. and Elois M. (Taylor) Hurd. She was a 1975 graduate of Monadnock Regional High School.

Peggy was a devout member of Sturtevant Chapel in Keene and had served in various ministries. She loved children and had a passion in particular for the Children’s Ministry. From 1977 to 1983 she work at Bible Memory Association in St. Louis, MO.
Known as “Aunt Peg” to many, even outside her family, Peggy was a loving and caring woman. During times of weakness, her strength shined brightly. She was strong willed and was an extremely hard worker which gained her much respect due to her impeccable work ethic and knowledge.
Peggy “loved hard” and always made sure that her family was involved in each other’s lives. All of her actions were done out of love. During her mother’s declining health, she self-sacrificed and cared for her, making sure that her mother received the best care possible.
