Peggy Keller
Keller, Peggy
Toms Brook (Va)
Baking-Virginia-Toms Brook
According to the Shenandoah Valley Herald "Cooking is Peggy Keller's hobby, baking cakes and decorating them is her specialty."
A resident of Toms Brook, she gained experience baking from her time in high school, working at local restaurants, and feeding her family. Part of her secret was doing things the “old fashioned way” including keeping a cow for fresh milk and home churned butter.
In addition to baking, Peggy volunteered with the county Republican Committee’s Women’s Club, the Toms Brook Elementary School PTA, and other organizations.
