Peggy Jean Jung was born November 26, 1938, to Fred and Clara (Guthmiller) Schumacher on the farm southeast of Hosmer. She grew up there and attended eight years of rural school before attending high school in Hosmer, graduating in 1956. After graduation, she lived in Aberdeen for a short period of time where she worked for a dry cleaner.
