Peggy was born May 18, 1922 at Sybouts, Saskatchewan to Albert and Bertha Cameron. In 1948, she married Walter Allan and raised a family of four at the family farm in Rathwell, Manitoba. She enjoyed a full life and was very active in her community. She was an active member and past president of the Rathwell Ladies Auxiliary. She had many hobbies one of which was painting. Peggy was also a founding member of the Canadian Reform Party. Peggy moved to Winnipeg in 1998 to be closer to her children, grandchildren and eventually her great grandchildren. One of her greatest joys was becoming a great grandmother or GG as she wanted to be called.
