Peggy was the most gracious friend. She and I lived in the same apartment complex. Peggy was kind and caring as well as being a good friend. She was helpful by driving me to the store if I needed to pick up something. I miss her greatly! She is missed by many. Rest in the arms of our ever loving Lord, Peggy!

So very sorry for your families loss. Peggy was a very special lady in many ways. She always had a smile and a ready story either from the past or maybe even yesterday about her grandson Levi, for example. She provided treats to neighbors in her building. She crocheted many an outfit for babies in our/her church. We remember when she started coming to Bethel Tabernacle/ Open Bible church, when we were teenagers, with her sister Virginia Tynan. She never missed a service, Sunday or Wednesday. Whenever there was an activity at the church she was there prior to COVID. We will miss Peggy and her engaging smile. Remember the past and cherish your memories. We will of Peggy.
