Peggy was born December 27, 1941 in Ogden, Utah, the daughter of Bryan Oscar Blanthorn and Afton Pasket Blanthorn; she was the second of six children. She was raised and attended school in Grouse Creek, Utah. Peggy often spoke of the old two room schoolhouse and how much fun she had there; riding to school on a horse or a bike was stylish.

Peggy married Lynn Kay of Tremonton and out of this union came two sons Todd J. Kay and Wade B. Kay prior to divorcing in 1976. Peggy poured her heart and soul into others, especially her boys. She went to great lengths and sacrifice in order to provide for them and supported them in all their endeavors.
