Perhaps the greatest adventure for Peggy and Hovey was the construction and management of the Hillwinds Inn in Blowing Rock. Peggy’s greatest work and her greatest love, however, was her family – a family that extended far beyond the bond of blood. She was an avid gardener, she was an amazing cook, and she possessed a wicked, dry wit.Left to honor Peggy’s life are her daughters Shawna Scoggins Rhyne and Myra Scoggins; her grandchildren Adam Rhyne and Emily Rhyne Greer and husband Joseph Greer; her great grandchildren Henry, Samuel, and Barrett Greer; and many, many friends, and neighbors.A graveside service honoring Peggy will be held at 10:00 A.M. atWoodlawn Cemetery in Blowing Rock on Friday, December 24, 2021.
