Sandra Kay Pegram Reagan

Sandra was born March 16, 1951 in Clinton, NC to the late George Singleton Pegram and Maybelle Rice Pegram. She was a resident of Wake County for most of her life, making Cary, Apex and Holly Springs her hometowns. She worked for many years at Henry Adams Elementary as a teacher’s assistant, as a waitress at Melba’s Cafe in downtown Cary, and finally as a homemaker.

She was an avid UNC basketball fan, notorious for calling Coach Smith to let him know what mistakes were made during a game. She was also known for her love of Elvis, much to her husband’s chagrin. Anyone who met her knew how she felt about Elvis and learned quickly not to disagree with her. Growing up poor, she taught her children to be respectful of all people and to appreciate even the smallest of things; for which they will be forever grateful. She gave selflessly and loved fiercely. Loving Sister, Supportive Mother, Caring Wife, Trusting Confidant. She was a force of nature and will be missed.

Sandra was preceded in death by brothers, George, Harold, Wayne, Rip, James; and sisters, Marie, Doris, Mary and Barbara.
