Peggy was born in Lawrence Kansas, the child of William and Ethel Schneider.
Peggy married Wilson Bass and lived in Omaha. She was a telephone operator and had a child, Sonny.
In the spring of 1953, Peggy eloped with Dean Lindstrom to Lawrence, Kansas. In Lawrence, the couple's first two boys, Randy and Bill, were born. Dean worked construction and at a gas station while Peggy cared for the kids. The family lived at 821 Indiana St, Lawrence, Kansas.
The family struggled in Lawrence, and construction worked dried up. So the family moved back to the Lindstrom family farm in Phelps County, Nebraska. There the couple had two girls, Shirley and Cindy. On the farm, Peggy was a bit eccentric, raising an alligator in the family bathtub and maintaining a large number of other animals, including Shetland Ponies.
Peggy's marriage with Dean ended in 1967. Peggy moved off the farm, and Dean raised their children by himself.
Peggy remarried another "Dean" and with Dean Sayer had two more children with him: Deana and "Billy."
Today Peggy lives in Texas with her husband. Peggy's first child, Sonny, died in 1990's after suffering from depression for years.
Religion
Peggy inherited the Mormon religion from her family. When Peggy and Dean moved together to Lawrence, the couple attended Mormon worship sessions at other couples' homes'---there being no easily accessible Mormon Church nearby. When the couple moved to Phelps County, Peggy took the children to attend Mormon church at families' homes' in Kearney. For special occasions, they drove to the larger Mormon Church in Grand Island. The couple's first two boys, Randy and Bill, were baptized in the Mormon Church, although neither practices today.
Religion was one source of great tension between the young couple and Dean's parents, especially when the couple moved onto the family farm. Dean's father George was a strong Protestant, who was instrumental in creating a local church in rural Phelps County, Holcomb Evangelical Free Church.
