With her two daughters and their families visiting for the holiday's it was it was only a matter of time before everyone wanted to see where Mom host her midday radio show. As Christmas a great time for surprises, they decided to pop in unannounced during a broadcast.

WAVU's Noon Inspiration

Peggie Haney is a retired medical secretary and military wife of 26 plus years. Her husband retired from the Navy in 1997 in Washington DC. The Navy has a slogan  - “Navy Wife, the hardest job.” Indeed, Peggie kept the home fires burning all those years while her husband was deployed serving our country in times of peace and war.  Keeping the house, paying the bills, getting the car repaired, raising two brilliant and beautiful daughters, and finding time to write her husband (no e-mail in those days) were all just a part of her daily routine.  Oh, and did I mention she has actively taught Bible class since 1971? Peggie’s career as a Navy wife allowed her to change addresses (move) 15 times. Having lived overseas, on both coasts, and all points in between has helped to shape her positive outlook on life and effervescent personality.

Peggie was born in Oneonta, lived with her family, as a child, at Snead Cross Roads, Detroit, MI and Glencoe, AL. She graduated from Glencoe High and attended Gadsden State while working as one of the Bells of Southern Bell (telephone operator) at the Gadsden office. It was there on the steps of the telephone office that she met her Prince charming who proposed to her the very same day. Not being as impulsive as her newly found sailor, it was many “shore leaves” and several months later before she would say yes.
