Peg was born and raised in Rutherford County N.C., and lived in Cliffside, Forest City, Belmont, N.C., before retiring to Seneca, S.C. Peg was blessed to have found love twice in her lifetime; married 56 wonderful years to Esper D. Brown of Forest City N.C. with whom she raised her 3 daughters and son. After his death, she moved to Austin, TX in 2003; fell in love with one Col. James D. Berry, retired military, and was married 7 years until his passing.
