What was Peggy McMillan's job in Mayberry?

Peggy McMillan was a county nurse in Mayberry.

Joanna Moore played Peggy, who appeared as one of Andy Taylor’s romantic interests during the show’s third season. Unlike Andy’s earlier girlfriend Ellie Walker, who worked as a pharmacist, Peggy’s job placed her in the county’s healthcare system. The character appeared in four episodes and was presented as a capable professional rather than a permanent member of Andy’s household or town staff.

The answer can be confused with other women connected to Andy. Ellie Walker was the pharmacist at Walker’s Drugstore, while Helen Crump was Andy’s schoolteacher girlfriend for much of the series. Mayberry’s unseen telephone operator was Sarah, a recurring off-screen voice—not Peggy McMillan.

The series frequently introduced short-lived girlfriends and guest characters around Andy’s steady sheriff’s life. Peggy therefore belongs to the show’s recurring supporting cast, but her occupation is consistently identified as county nurse.
