Don accepted a position in Washington, D.C. and in March of 1968, they moved to Arlington, VA. where they would live for 17 years, starting their family and raising their two daughters, Lainie and Marla.
The Case family enjoyed life in the Nation’s Capitol visiting many historical places and participating in the exciting political climate of the early 1980s. Desiring to be closer to family once again, Don and Peggy returned to Georgia in 1984.
Peggy, always having been a full time wife and mother, returned to work in the medical field at Cobb Family Medicine where she worked for 15 years. Peggy was a much loved and valuable employee and she made many longtime friendships with both coworkers and patients.
She enjoyed being back in Georgia and spending time with her family. She and her mother, Edna, enjoyed lunch and shopping excursions every Wednesday for many years until Edna’s death in 2016.
Peggy became a Seventh Day Adventist in 2003 after several years of deep Bible study. She made precious and lasting friendships at church. She was the church clerk for many years and loved her Monday morning Bible study with her best friends.
Peggy dearly cherished her time with her 4 granddaughters, taking each one to a special birthday lunch at Bahama Breeze every year for her birthday. She was a loving “Me-mom” and attended many school events, soccer games, and cross-country meets. She made every holiday special and went out of her way to show her love.
Don and Peggy enjoyed visiting daughter, Marla, son-in-law, Mike, and granddaughter, Heidi, at Mike’s various duty stations such as Fairbanks, Alaska, and Sierra Vista, Arizona.
Peggy’s deep love for and her devotion to her family and friends will be missed by all who knew her.
