She was thrilled to join a local dance team called "The Tip Top Dancers". Back on stage, the dance team performed locally and in Vegas! Peggy and Stan continued bowling on leagues for the next 20 years and she loved her card games with the girls. Moms humor was quick, a bit twisted, and sometimes blind, she never hesitated for an adventure and always instilled the importance of staying family strong. As her children, one of our fondest memories, was the annual trip to Big Blue Lake, MI. for "Christmas in July" surrounded by our Aunts, Uncles, cousins and the side-splitting mayhem that took center stage!Peggy is survived by her son, Martin & Florence Griffith; daughters, Susan & Gerry Seyferth and Danise & Sal Rullo whom all reside in AZ; and her grandchildren: Kurt & Lyndsay Seyferth, Jeff & Nok Seyferth, Scott Seyferth and Jennifer, Jesse, Andrew and Salvatore Rullo.
