She worked for Gresham's Doughnuts and McQuay's Market, and as a lifeguard at the Henlopen Condominiums rooftop pool.

Peggy and Mario Roca have been married for 32 years. They are the proud parents of Billy Roca and the late John Roca.

Peggy Roca enjoys playing golf, and loves to go boating and fishing. She and her family are familiar with all the good restaurants and fun places to go. She would love to show clients the town and its hidden secrets.

Roca has spent her entire career helping others and is looking forward to doing the same as a Realtor. To contact Peggy Roca, call 302-363-6321 or email peggy@jacklingo.com.
