Peggy Ladoyle Thrash Gray, 90, of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away peacefully on July 8, 2024, after a long illness. She was born to Oliver and Eva Thrash on January 13th, 1934, in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
Peggy grew up in Mississippi on a farm with her parents and seven brothers and sisters. She graduated from Bloomo High School in 1952 as the Senior Class President and Valedictorian. At the early age of 16, she met her life sweetheart, Cliff, who soon after graduation became her husband. Cliff adored her, and together they raised three remarkable boys and had a beautiful life together.
Peggy loved the Lord and proudly attended church with her family. Their family enjoyed many vacations to the beach and other locations as the boys grew up, and later in life, they traveled to many different countries. One of her favorite places she had the opportunity to visit was Nova Scotia, specifically Peggy’s Cove. Over the years, Peggy enjoyed a successful career in administration at Sears Contract Sales and New Technology (NTI).
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Oliver and Eva Thrash; her husband, Clifford S. Gray; her brothers Arwilma “Winkie” Thrash, Sterrot “Spot” Thrash, Oliver “Snooks” Thrash, Narwin Thrash, Bobby Don Thrash; and her sister Jerrell Horlock.
She is survived by her sister Linda Cleveland (Wayne); her children, Steve (Lynn), Ronnie (Cindy), and Scott (Phyllis); 7 grandchildren, Jennifer (Simon), Charlie (Michelle), Meredith (Greg), Tom (Ellen), Jake (Elizabeth), Maggie (Charlie), and Lydia; and 12 great-grandchildren, Charlotte, James, Hadley, Thomas, Vince, Eliza, James Gray, Isabel, Stephen Mac, Mia, Mary Ellen, and Arthur, along with numerous nieces and nephews. She will be missed by all.
A celebration of Peggy's life will be announced later.
