She married her devoted husband, Vance Oliver Cook, in 1955, spending her entire life as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. Peggy enjoyed tennis, horses, and singing. She was extremely proud and very involved in the lives of her three grandsons and took immense pleasure in all their activities. It was rare for the Cooks to miss a game.
