The first of two girls, Peggy Ann was born at home on October 29, 1933, to the late Veryle and Pauline (Wilson) Nuckols in Union City, OH.
In 1952 she graduated from East Side School. After graduation she accepted a position at the school and worked there until her marriage to Philip (Phil) Wasson in 1957.
They started married life in a two-room apartment in Killeen, Texas near Fort Hood where Phil was stationed. Elvis Presley was also stationed at Fort Hood during that time and Peggy Ann was able to get her photo taken with him outside his home.
