Peggy was born on January 5, 1943 in Sulpher, Oklahoma to Ernest and Josephine Shults.  Peggy earned a degree in nursing and worked as a nurse in many small towns in West Texas.  She served as the Director of Nursing of nursing homes in Cross Plains and Baird.  Peggy became a great advocate for the patients she cared for, always making sure they were receiving the best care they could get.  This extended into her life even after her retirement and during her own stay at BrightPointe.
