Peggy C.

I started working at LePar in 1997. I have always enjoyed being around animals both domestic and wild. Going to the woods and seeing the animals in their natural setting, deer and such, always makes me smile. I have had many pets and have always enjoyed sharing my life with them. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, baking, working out, reading, going for walks, and spending time with my husband, family, and friends.
