She was born at home on September 26, 1931 in Dawson, Texas to Jim and Marguerite Berry. The family tree shows the lineage to George Washington.

Peggy met Wesley Jordan in Corsicana through his sister, Betty. They were married four years later on June 1, 1951. They were married for 69 years until his passing in February 2020.

Peggy was very courageous and brave. She was always the first one to try new things like water skiing or tubing. If she survived, then it was okay for her children to do it! Peggy loved adventures and enjoyed traveling. Her first travel companion was her mother, Marguerite, then when Wesley retired they were able to travel together. They went on a few cruises and bus tours. They traveled to Alaska, panned for gold in Colorado, and white water rafted in New Mexico with their grandson. They also visited Alaska, Arizona, The Grand Canyon, Idaho, Utah, Yellowstone National Park, Kansas, Branson, Missouri, Arkansas, New Orleans, New York, Niagara Falls, Illinois, Washington D.C., Canada, Scotland, The Great Wall of China, Japan, Normandy, Ireland, England, Germany, France, Switzerland, Hawaii, Jamaica, and Australia just to name a few.
