Margaret, known to her loved ones as Peggy, was a relatively new resident to Las Vegas, according to her brother Joe. He said she spent most of her life in Florida but he convinced her to move to the valley after losing their older sister to COVID-19.

"I wanted to watch out for Peg, so I talked her into moving to Las Vegas just in January of this year," he said. "Little did I know what might befall her."
