Peg was born on March 9, 1923, at home in Arkansaw. She was the daughter of William and Bessie (LaPean) Keeler. Peg grew up in the Arkansaw area and graduated from Arkansaw High School in 1941. After school, Peg worked at the egg station in Durand and as a nanny. Peg married Donald Glaus on Oct. 27, 1943, at St. Joseph's in Arkansaw.

After leaving the farm, they moved into the Town of Eau Galle, where Peg became a CNA at the Myrtle Werth Hospital in Menomonie for 15 years. In June of 2011, Peg moved to the Welcome Home Assisted Living in Elmwood until August of this year.

She was an avid Brewer fan, and she enjoyed her flower and vegetable gardens, woodworking at Don and Peg's woodworking shop, canning foods, snowmobiling, playing cards, and hunting deer, getting her last deer at age 70. Most of all, Peg loved to spend time with family and friends.
