      During the 1970s and '80s Peggy was very creative and made and sold her own ceramic pottery in the malls and galleries in Pennsylvania and Western New York. She later acquired her real estate license and sold homes throughout the Bradford area for more than 30 years.

      Peggy was a member of St. Bernard Church and the American Legion. She was a wonderful woman who will be sorely missed.

      She was preceded in death by her parents; one granddaughter, Brooke Nicole Coppella; and one brother, Harold "Whitey" Pistner.

      A private Mass of Christian burial will be held in St. Bernard Church with the Rev. Jim Gutting as celebrant. Burial will be in St. Bernard Cemetery.
