Peggy was born in Zomboanga City, Philippines on June 26, 1950 and took her place in heaven on January 29, 2019.
Peggy was a graduate of The Philippine Women’s University. She moved to California in 1976 where she became a citizen of the United States of America. Peggy pursued a career in finance, serving as a controller for corporations in Silicon Valley.
As a second career, Peggy co-owned SwingTimeCatering in Watsonville with her wife Antonette Wood. They opened SwingTime in 2004 along with Peggy’s closest and dearest friend Elizabeth Silva. It was a transition to food service from Peggy and Liz’s business, SwingTime Golf Event Management when Antonette came onboard. Theirs is a God-driven business; the main purpose of SwingTime and its owners is to serve their community and to serve God.
Peggy lived her life true to their mission statement: “What does the Lord require of you? To do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.” Micah 6:8
Peggy was an amazing golfer and swing coach; her last handicap posted 2.5 (from the white tees). She was also passionate about and involved with bull terrier rescue.
Peggy is survived by her wife and partner Antonette Wood; her 4 pups Gertrude, Radclyffe, Harper Lee, and Pumpkin. She is also survived by two sisters, Elizabeth Wilkinson of Henderson Nevada, and Arlene Verano of Quezon City, Philippines.
