Peggy was born in 1932 in Eldon, MO to Floyd “Steve” and Ladean Jones. She graduated from Washington Rural High School and married the love of her life, James Franklin McKinley in 1951. They moved to the San Antonio area while James was in the service, and she worked for the San Antonio Livestock Exchange. After his honorable discharge, they moved back to KCK and Peggy worked for Piper High School as a secretary for 22 years. Her main focus was her family, raising her four sons, and she was one heck of a cook. Peggy also loved watching Chiefs football and Royals baseball.
She was preceded in death by her parents; her infant brother; her sons, Steve and Chris McKinley; her brother-in-law, John McKinley; and her sister-in-law, Carol McKinley O’Rourke.
Peggy is survived by her husband of 67 years, James McKinley of the home; her sons, Scott McKinley (Sherry) of Basehor, KS, and Craig McKinley (Jane) of Piper, KS; her daughters-in-law, Denise McKinley of KCK, and Kathy McKinley of NKC, MO; her nine grandchildren, Kyle McKinley (Mandy), Keith McKinley, Karly Parker (Matt), Kurt McKinley (Kim Puckett), Kendall Cline (Matt), Alison Flannery (Ben), Erin Jones (Cody), Matt McKinley (Madi), and Taylor McKinley; twelve great-grandchildren, and her nephews, Jay McKinley and Pat O’Rourke, and niece, Barbara O’Rourke.
