Preceded in death by her parents Shorty and Bea Collins; her husband, Floyd; her brothers, Glenn and Verlin Collins; daughter-in-law Linda Webb; and grandson Bryan Sanders.

Peggy was born in Pawnee, Oklahoma, where she lived on the family farm with her mom, dad and three brothers, where she found her gifts for cooking for large groups of people and taking care of children. She helped her mom in the kitchen cooking for everyone on the farm and helped care for her youngest brother.

Peggy graduated from Olive Hill Public schools in May 1950. On October 13, 1951 Peggy Jean Collins married Floyd Edward Webb, Sr. The couple lived in Pawnee while Floyd was in the Army and moved to Stillwater so Floyd could attend OSU. They later moved to Tulsa, where she raised her three kids, was a dedicated follower of Christ, and active in church. Peggy participated in several mission trips through the years where she would cook for youth groups and other missions.

Peggy and Floyd loved to travel, camping with friends and family. Many weekends would find Floyd and Peggy out at a lake with their camper, fishing and cooking up a feast for family and friends.

Peggy had a huge heart, and would help any of her family and friends. She was willing to take kids in and love them like they were her own, if even for a few hours a day. The kids she cared for at her daycare were not just a paycheck for Peggy--she often charged reduced rates to struggling families. Everyone knew she loved children. She was well known for hugging random kiddos she did not know and "stealing” babies away from the parents at parties and family events just so she could cuddle and love them. She loved her family unconditionally, acting as a fighter and champion, or a sweet loving angel, as her heart led her.

Everyone who met Peggy, even after her dementia set in, knew she was ornery but loved to talk to anyone. She made friends easily and cared about the people around her. Even late in her life she was known to "mother" some of the other residents in her nursing home, always putting the needs of others before her own. She will be forever loved and missed by everyone who knew her.
