She was born on May 12, 1925 in Denver, CO, the daughter of the late Earl Lewis Kellett and Martha Ellen (Catron) Kellett. Peggy was raised in West Plains, MO and a graduate of West Plains High School. She married as a war-bride, to her high school sweetheart, Richard Whitelaw Briscoe on November 14, 1942.

Peggy was a career homemaker and the glue of her extensive family where every member believes they are her favorite and where the term “love you mostest and bestest”, will forever be a treasured family endearment coined by our beloved “Mom”.
