Peggy was a wife, mother and gran to her family. Together with her husband Pete, she raised three children, daughters Linda McNatt and her late husband Sam, Brenda Bradley and her husband Mark, and son Greg Wallace who preceded her in death. There are five grandchildren and ten great grandchildren who survive her, grandson Brian Woolard and wife Misty, and their two children Kimmie and Bradley; granddaughter Carrie Flores, her husband David and children Kami and Kylee Flores; granddaughter Crystal Duhon and husband and husband Michael and their children Skyler Acay and husband Levi, Makaylee, Jaden , Richard, Taylor and Janessa Duhon; and grandsons Kinny Bradley, Lucas Wallace, and Kim McNatt.

Peggy was born in Swink, Oklahoma to Clarence Kirby Caldwell and Ara Corene Brim Caldwell. She had three sisters, Lou Jene, D’ Tanis, and Barbara Ann, and one brother, Clarence Kirby “Butch” Jr. Peggy is preceded in death by her parents , Lou Jene, D’ Tanis and Butch.

Peggy moved with her parents to New Mexico at the age of 13. She enjoyed sports, playing basketball and softball, and continued that love of sports watching and supporting the grandchildren and great grandchildren in their sporting events. Peggy loved camping and fishing, and loved a good game of Wahoo. She spoiled her husband and grandkids with homemade “hotcakes” every chance she had and made a delicious German Chocolate Cake and cornbread dressing for the holidays.

Peggy pursued several professions throughout her life. She was a beauty operator, drove a dump truck for the family-owned fertilizer company, became a drummer in a country western band called the Melotones with her husband and even had a Purple People Eater painted on her bass drum.  She also aced the drummer solo in the instrumental song Wipe-Out. Her most rewarding career choice was being a teacher aide at the Alvarado Elementary South School where she performed many tasks. She loved the students and her co-workers and was often stopped while out in public by her students to say “hello” and get a hug.

Peggy was loved by her family and friends and will be missed by all.
