Peggy worked for Flowercraft beginning in 1964 and continued working with the company once it became Distinctive Designs in 1976. She worked with Distinctive Designs until her retirement in March of 1998. Through her job, she traveled all over the world but was always happy to get back to her home in Hester Heights.
