Peggy Doreen (Turner) Buckland

Heaven welcomed home a faithful servant when Peggy Doreen Turner Buckland of Hinton, WV passed away on January 9, 2021 following a brief illness.

Peggy was born in Dilton Marsh, Wilshire, England to Harold and Lily Turner on March 11, 1936. She grew up in England during WWII at age 16 she graduated from Fairingdon Berkshire High School, whereupon she moved to London to work for National Cash Register Company. She met her husband of 63 years in London as he was overseas with the US Air Force. She left England and all family to start a new adventure with the love of her life, Roy Buckland. They were married in West Virginia and had a great life for 21 years with the Air Force before retiring to their small farm just outside of Hinton, WV.

She had a strong faith in Christ and served in a variety of ways, through their church in Hinton. She was a wonderful, kind, and loving wife, mother grandmother, and friend. She loved to travel and always enjoyed planning their next trip. She and Roy had many camping trips all over the country throughout the years, where she was always on the lookout for a good fishing spot for the two of them. She was an avid photographer with many family memories of Grandma’s “Kodak Moments” and many beautiful images on the walls of their home reflect her talent. She was an avid gardener who could get anything to flourish. She was a knitter extraordinaire who created countless beautiful garments for family and friends. She loved spending time with friends in her knitting group at church.

She and Roy lived a rich full life and she joined her beloved husband in Heaven on January 9, 2021, only two days after his passing. She will be greatly missed and forever cherished by her children, Michael Buckland and wife, Pam of Beaver, WV, Wendy Sonnenberg and husband, Larry of Bozeman, MT, and Steve Buckland and wife, Tammy of High Point, NC; 7 grandchildren; a great-granddaughter; and a brother, Peter Turner and wife, Betty of Faringdon, England.
