Peggy is preceded in death by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B.L. St. John and brother, Bobby St. John.
Peggy was an attorney with the Gold Weems Bruser Sues & Rundell Law Firm. She was the first female Associate with the firm, as well as, the first female Director. Peggy was born and grew up in Bernice, Louisiana. She matriculated Magna Cum Laude from Louisiana College, 1974. While at Louisiana College, she was selected for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities. She graduated from Louisiana State University School of Law in 1983; where she was highly recognized for her academic achievements.
Professionally, she was a very highly respected Lawyer on both the state and federal levels. She was consistently Peer Rated for the highest level of Professional Excellence and Ethical Standing by Martindale-Hubbell; and consistently received the strongest client recommendations. Her very last service, a week before her passing, was to serve on the committee established by United States Senator William Cassidy to select finalist candidates for the Fifth Circuit and District Court Judgeships. She provided faithful service to her firm, clients and fellow attorneys for 34 years.
Peggy is survived by her husband, Stephen Henthorne; beloved puppy, Lexi; brother, Donald St. John (Mauriece); cousin, Patti Burnham, and several nieces and nephews. Additionally, she is survived by many friends of all ages, who found in her a faithful, generous, caring and loving friend. Peggy was a very giving Christian lady and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

Peggy is the greatest gift that God ever gave me in my life. She is far more than I ever deserved. I love her beyond measure, and miss her beyond belief.

Steve: Diana and I send our most profound sympathies and condolences on the loss of this truly beautiful lady. She has been a devout friend, and a source of real comfort in times of turmoil and transition; a source of light on very dark days. Although separated by considerable distances, we will miss her greatly. Eternal rest grant unto her, and may light perpetual shine upon her -- may her soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

I have a heart full of sadness with the loss of Peggy. I am so honored to have been a part of her life. I have wonderful memories to cherish forever. My prayers for the family and especially Stephen, that you remain close to God and feel His healing grace. We don't understand why some leave so soon, but rest assured she is watching over us and wishing us health and happiness in our daily lives. One day we will all unite again. I truly am sorry you are going through this hardship. Daily hugs to you and daily prayers for you and also Lexi.

My heart is breaking for anybody who ever came into contact with this beautiful woman.
You were so much more than a business associate to me. You were a mentor and friend. You were a true southern beauty.
The world has lost a beautiful soul.
Rest in peace Peggy.
