She screened, selected and trained every volunteer who served in any capacity with Turning Points. She helped to develop a program for school systems regarding the issue of dating violence. Peggy was a regular contributor to professional development programs for judges and police officials and was the recipient of numerous awards from domestic violence service agencies throughout Virginia
