Peggy was a strong woman, fighting cancer not one, not two, but three times. She often shared her testimony with others during chemotherapy and radiation.

Peggy was a long-time member of Memorial Baptist Church and was there as often as she could attend. She loved her ladies’ class and loved reading God’s Word, often committing verses to memory.

She will be missed by those who knew and loved her, but we rejoice that she knew Jesus as her Lord and is in Heaven for eternity.

In lieu of flowers, Peggy asked that donations be made to Susan B. Komen for breast cancer research.
