Peggy was born in Boscobel, WI on November 12, 1950 to Butch and Elaine Turner. She graduated from Boscobel High School in 1968 and continued her studies at UW Platteville. Peggy was married to Ronald Gallitz on September 17, 1995; they were married 21 years.

Peggy was a former owner of a Curves for Women location in Fitchburg, WI. She enjoyed traveling, spending time with her family and her Ya Ya's, and cheering on the Green Bay Packers. She was very fond of her travels all over the US, but mostely to Hawaii and when given the chance endured the long journey back to one of her most loved places year after year.

Peggy had a special love for spending time with her family including her grandchildren who she loved so very much. She also enjoyed spending days on the river and concerts on the square. During Peggy's battle with illness the last couple of years, she never lost sight of her zest for life. She was famously known by her nieces and nephews as "the "favorite" Aunty Peggy". Words cannot describe how much Peggy was loved by everyone around her. She was always the life of the party with her laugh and smile. Peggy was a wonderful mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, wife and friend.

Light A Candle
light a candle,
see it glow,
watch it dance,
when you feel low,

think of me,
think of light,
I'll always be here,
day or night,

a candle flickers,
out of sight,
but in your heart,
I still burn bright,

think not of sadness,
that I'm not near,
think of gladness,
and joyous cheer,

I have not left,
I am not gone,
I'm here to stay
my loved ones,

so when you light a candle
and you see it glow
and you watch it dance
in your heart you'll know

that I would never leave you
even when you feel so blue
I'm sitting up here with the Lord
and now watching over you
