Very much a traditionalist, Peggy's always made her opinions known to her children if she felt they were contravening her strict moral code.

After her first husband Jack Archer succumbed to the ravages of gambling and alcoholism, she waited a long time to find her true heart's desire. It wasn't until 1991 that she married Jack Woolley and began to look forward to a blissful retirement. All was going according to plan until Jack was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, which brought her a long and difficult period as his carer.

When she had a stroke in 2008, Peggy reluctantly realised that as Jack deteriorated further he needed residential care. She is a very frequent visitor to The Laurels, even if Jack often doesn't know who she is.
