Peggy Bowden Riggsbee

Peggy is a committed member of Crossroads Fellowship on Millbrook Road in Raleigh, North Carolina. She takes great pride in gardening, wood working, cooking, sewing, and dancing. She was always the sweetest and most kind person to everyone who knew her. She was a friend to all and would welcome them freely into her life. She never met a stranger. Activities she always enjoyed with her children and grandchildren were trips to her beach house where they would all sit around and laugh. The grand children loved to call her “Mema” and will miss her dearly. Peggy was very crafty which lead her into being a General Contractor, and sewing most of her daughter’s clothing.

Peggy is survived by her daughter, Todd Allyson Bailey (Rick); son, Tyler Blair Riggsbee (Kimberly); and grandchildren, Jessica Riggsbee, Megan Riggsbee, Hunter Riggsbee, Austin Riggsbee, Blair Riggsbee, and Jordan Riggsbee. She is also survived by sisters, Francis Cheek and Jeanie Robertson; brothers, Don Bowden and Brack Bowden, and many other loving family and friends.

She is predeceased by her loving husband, Tommy Lewis, son Tommy Barton, and parents, Charlie and Notie Bowden.
