Peggy REECE Obituary
Peggy was a 1951 graduate of Hampton High School. She found pleasure in making crafts most of her adult life, from afghans to ceramic figurines and her award-winning porcelain dolls, but her biggest pleasure came in wholeheartedly loving and generously giving to her family and friends.
She is preceded in death and now reunited with her parents, Robert E. Holland Sr. and Margaret Rich Holland; and her sons, Gary Leslie Reece and Danny Rea Reece.
Survivors include her loving husband of 57 years, Thomas L. 'Tommy' Reece; son, Brian L. Reece and wife, Linda of Hampton; daughter, Lisa R. Lyles and husband, Kevin of Newport News; granddaughter, Emma Lee McGee and husband, Steve of Poquoson; two grandsons, Travis and Trenton Lyles of Newport News; two great-grandchildren, Jordan Merritt and Austen McGee of Poquoson; sister, Marilyn Garrett and husband, Woodie of Gallatin, Tenn.; brother, Robert E. Holland Jr. and wife, Sharon of Chesapeake; sisters-in-law, Sharon Medvitz and husband, Chuck of Warrenton and Sheila Moore of Newport News; aunt, Evelyn Stacy of Richmond, and a host of nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.
The family will receive friends from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, April 19, at Peninsula Funeral Home. A graveside service will be conducted at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 20, at Hampton Veterans Memorial Gardens.
The family would like to thank the staff of Commonwealth Assisted Living Facility and Hospice of Virginia for the loving care they gave to Peggy during her illness.
