Peggy was born on January 8, 1932 to William Floyd Archer and Ella Viola Archer on an isolated farm near Teigen Montana. Peggy joined two brothers Deane and Victor and one sister Nell and later another sister Nancy completed the family.
Peggy was raised on the farm and helped out her parents, and later her family moved to Lewistown where she attended and graduated high school in 1949. She attended Eastern College for two years to become a first-grade teacher where her first teaching job brought her to Townsend MT.
There in Townsend, Peggy met and married Robert Kenney on June 14, 1953, in a ceremony held in Billings MT.
They made their home in Townsend and had 3 boys Gene, Rodger and Philip. She stopped teaching in the school setting when the boys were small and started a kindergarten class in their home so she could combine her teaching skills with stay-at-home mom.

She was preceded in death by her husband Robert, her parents William and Ella, and her brothers Victor and Deane and sister Nell.
