No surname. No title. No need to divulge these things in the current climate. Either a stranger will take her at her bare word, or they won't at all. And Peggy sees no value in fighting for any more recognition than that alone.
The shake is brief. But firm. "Please, call me Peggy."
Ma'am would be acceptable from some. Others. But a younger woman? No -- Peggy would prefer to be endeared.
