Peggy Evelyn Latta Vandiver

She was born on April 19, 1933 in Stephenville, Texas to Melvin and Clara Latta and was the oldest of four children.

Peggy graduated from Stephenville High School. She met John Vandiver and were wed on June 1, 1952. They lived in the Lingleville community during their early marriage. She worked at Cox's Department Store in Stephenville and was a Disc Jockey at a local radio station. After giving birth to their daughter, Anniece, in 1953, they moved to Grand Prairie where she was a homemaker and a clerk for Cicero's Pharmacy.

Their home backed up to the new Turnpike highway construction project between Dallas and Fort Worth (now known as 130), which led them to move to the little town of Euless in April 1958.

She was employed as a draftsperson, clerk, and office administrator with Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Dallas. Her tenure led her to offices in Arlington, Bedford, Richland Hills, and Fort Worth. She retired in February 1987 after 28 years of service.

From the mid-1960s, she and John began camping and riding motorcycles which led them on many adventures around the country. They never met a stranger and faithfully served as officers in the Streamline Royal Rovers RV club for many years. They were active members at Cross City Church (formerly First Baptist Church of Euless) and went on many church-led work trips around the country to assist with construction projects.

She and John hosted many National Night Outs in their neighborhood. After John's passing, she became an active member of the Euless Citizen's Fire Academy Alumni Association, Euless Citizen's Police Academy Alumni Association, and the Euless Historical Preservation Committee.

She volunteered as often as possible and earned recognition from the Volunteer Presidential Awards many times.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, and her two sisters (Dixie and Dorothy). She is survived by her daughter, Anniece McKanna, and granddaughters Alyssa (Alex), LeAnne (Emmanuel) and great-granddaughter (Eliana), brother Patrick (Betsy), and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.
