Peggy Janney Obituary

Peggy Marie Thornhill Janney, of Boones Mill, departed this life to be with her heavenly father for eternity this 26th day of September, 2008 at the age of 80 years old. Peggy was a loving wife to her husband of 65 years, Coy C. Janney, Sr. of Boones Mill; a loving mother to her three beloved children all of Boones Mill, Coy C. Janney, Jr. and wife Ellen, Ronnie Lee Janney and wife Sarah, Linda Marie Janney; loving grandmother to John Kevin Janney of Norfolk, Tonya Leigh Janney of Boones Mill, Rhonda Janney McFalls and husband Kenneth of Boones Mill, Kerry Arnold Dillon, Jr. of Boones Mill, April Dillon Bond and husband Jerry of Christiansburg, Donna Lynn Janney of Roanoke; loving grandmother to her great-grandchildren, Samuel Lee McFalls, Sarah Katherine McFalls, Abigail Grace Janney and Emma Leigh Janney, all of Boones Mill. Peggy is also survived by her brother, Jack Thornhill of Roanoke. Peggy was an active member of Boones Mill Baptist Church until the time she was admitted to Pheasant Ridge Nursing Home in March, 2007. Peggy loved and cared for all the children in the church, all of whom she considered her own. Peggy managed the kitchen and cleaned the church of many, many years. In addition to teaching Sunday School and singing in the church choir, Peggy mothers many more than her own three children and will always be remembered for that love in addition to her love for Christ which she demonstrated by her devotion to her church family. Words cannot express the emptiness that will forever remain in the worldly lives of Peggy's family as a result of her death. They will finally rejoice again when they meet her in heaven. Funeral services will be conducted from Boones Mill Baptist Church 11 a.m. Monday with Dr. Richard Harrell and the Rev. James Steele officiating. Interment will follow in Mountain View Memorial Park. The family would like to thank all of Peggy's care givers at Pheasant Ridge Nursing for their loving care. In lieu of flowers, please make any contributions to Boones Mill Baptist Church. Her family will be receiving friends from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday at Flora Funeral Service, 665 South Main Street, Rocky Mount. www.florafuneralservice.com

To Ronnie, Sarah, Rhonda and Family

I have one thing to say! "Two cookies, Sherry! TWO!" :) Such fond memories of VBS's gone by... I wanted more snacks so desperately and yet, "Two cookies! TWO! You can't have anymore!"

Ah... but then, she softened. One year at children's camp she gave me several SEVERAL candy bars and I thought she had lost her mind! ;-) I felt loved!

I also remember how much care she took in trying her best to keep the church clean. She would sure let me know when I didn't! I'm sorry, Peggy!

She'll be making sure everything is perfectly spotless for the Lord in Heaven! ;-)

Today... today she is happier than we can fathom. For that, I am thankful. Maybe she has seen my mother.

We love you all and will be praying for God's comfort as I know you will miss her terribly.

Love,
Sherry Guill Holland and Family

To a great brother-in-law , sister and neice
Ronnie ,Sarah , Rhonda and family
I thank God every day that you are a part of my life. I don't have the word to tell you how I feel. Peggy has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I remember catching the bus in Boones Mill and going downtown and shop all day, or just come to the house and hang out with her and watch her cook. Peggy cared for all of my brothes and sisters. I have alot of fond memories of her. I grew up, got married and had my own family and she loved my childern like her own, she showed this by the little things she done. My children grew up and got married and had a family of their own and she loved my grandchildren. I lost touch with Peggy other than running in to her at the store for awhile. Then in March of 07 she came back into my life. For the past 11/2 years at Pheasant Ridge she was always waiting on me when I arried for work. You see, I work there. When I was out she always ask about me. She would come to my office every morning and get her a cuo of coffee and a pack of doughnuts. She would sing to me. Ms. Peggy thank you for alowing me to be part of your life again.
With my heartfelt sympathy,
Linda
