Surely being that close to Howard she would have been involved in his life. If you'll recall Tony did not know Howard co-founded SHIELD or anything about that part of his life. Peggy is connected to that part of his life. It's highly likely that Tony at best was introduced to Peggy a couple of times at Stark's annual holiday parties vaguely as someone she worked with or a "friend from the war" and given he didn't really want much to do with Dad's work(nor Dad's life during the war most likely given he was sick of hearing about Captain America:)) while he was growing up and that was it.

In fact everything in the films suggest that Tony and Peggy probably would have had almost no interaction.
