Peggy Louise Pulliam was born to John H. and Myrtle A. (Martin) Prather on November 13, 1929, in Cushing, Oklahoma. She was the second youngest of seven children.

At the age of sixteen Peggy married James W. Young, also of Oklahoma. Together they had three children, Marklyn who died in infancy, Brenda Kay and Gregory Albert Young.

Peggy and her children moved to Nebraska where she met and married Charles C. Cady. The couple lived the majority of their lives in the countryside of Sidney.

In 1986 Charles and Peggy made the move to Ogallala to enjoy their retirement and grandchildren. Charles passed away in 1996.

In 1997 Peggy married her lifelong friend Cletus R. Pulliam and returned to her home state of Oklahoma where they resided until Cletus' death in 2001. Peggy decided to return to Nebraska in 2003 to live closer to her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She spent the remainder of her days, loving and caring for her family and friend in Nebraska.

Preceding her in death was her daughter Marklyn, her husbands, and her siblings: Carmaleta Shannon, Floyd Prather, Kenneth Prather, Douglas Prather and Maxiel Prather.
