Peggie Hurt Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 17, 2001.
She had a beautiful soprano voice and loved to sing in church choirs. Her favorite was a gospel song, "The Battle Is Not Yours; It's the Lord's." The night before she would be killed by a hijacked plane that terrorists rammed into the Pentagon, Peggie Hurt, 36, took her godmother to dinner for her 86th birthday. Hurt worked as a civilian accountant for the U.S. Army. An honors graduate of Virginia State University, she lived in Springfield, Va., but regularly visited her hometown of Kenbridge, Va. "I would describe her as the glue in the family," said her friend Phylis Adams. "She didn't have brothers or sisters, but when she went home to Kenbridge, she made it her business to visit and check in with everybody, aunts and uncles and cousins." Hurt attended the Black Family Reunion on the Mall in Washington, D.C. She visited the Smithsonian for new exhibits. She enjoyed Caribbean food. Adams underwent surgery about three years ago and Hurt stayed with her for several nights. "I will miss just spending time together," Adams said. "I called a friend last night and asked who is going to baby-sit me now that Peggie is gone."

Dear family and friends of Peggy Hurt,

On Saturday February 15, 2020, I had the occasion to visit the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, a truly solemn experience. When visiting the first of two Memorial Pools, I stood next to the name of Peggy Hurt, and there was a red carnation on her name.

I looked up her name, as I felt obliged to do, and I felt an immediate connection with her when I learned she was a victim of the attack on the Pentagon.

God Bless Peggy and all others who were victims of the 9/11 attacks on America. Rest In Peace Peggy.

Peggie,
It's been 17 longs years and honestly, it still feels the same. I never shared this with anybody but my first memory of VA was you. The day I moved to VA I think my dad had to work and couldn't pick me up from the airport. I was 8, going on 9, scared, horrified, and did not want to leave my mother. As a child, I didn't know if my father side of the family would "like me", would I be accepted, how would my family treat me? When you picked me up, the flight attendant asked me if I knew you? With my head, not wanting to look up, I shook my head yes. I guess you could tell I was scared because you kneel down, lift my head up, and greeted me with a smile. You took me to your apartment, fed me, and I went to sleep. I said all that just to say THANK YOU. I pray that you know I am thankful for that memory. Because of you, I felt comfortable, loved, and welcomed. Because of that smile, you've taught me to face every moment with a smile, no matter how bad it may seems. Thank you for welcoming me into the family, for being a great role model to your little cousins, for your blissful yet stern personality. Yes, it's been a long 17 years, but your legacy still lives on. We love you and miss you each and every day.

On 9/11/2017 I put a tribute to you on facebook and got a lot of response from different people talking about you. I also had a co-worker told me she woke up this morning with wanting to do a tribute for you; and she did a good job. Your love for people and your family will always be with us. You are dearly missed. Your legacy will live on forever along with thousands more because of this date 9/11/01. I just wonder how your life would be if you were here now. RIP Peggie. I know you would not want to come back here to this cruel world. I still miss you. Love you.

Hi Peggie; today marks 15 years since you left us unexpectedly to such a horrible experience of terrorist act. As the years goes by it gets easier but when the date of 9/11 comes around its like reliving the whole horrible event over again. I just want you to know that you are dearly missed by all. Today I have my daughter; son-n-law and grandson here with me. I am thankful cause I won't be alone the whole day thinking of you. RIP Peggie and I know you are singing in the Heavenly choir with the rest of the Hurt family. Love and miss you all.

I came across Peggie's tribute from 911
i know GOD works in mysterious ways who would ever thought a yankee like myself living now in Queensland Australia would come across this tribute ? But His ways are Not our ways or His thoughts our thoughts . I am a missionary here in the Land of Oz , used to live near Manhattan in 2000
I read the article describing this wonderful soul . " The Battle is NOT ours " its the Lords Amen ! and im here to tell you that she must have loved the Lord so much to sing that song . Jesus said in psalm 23 The Lord is my Shepard i will not be in need , even in death He sent his angels to carry her away . God said I will Never leave you or forsake you . She trusted in the Lord to sing unto HIM there is another singing angel along side of Jesus . I dont think i came here for no reason i felt led by the Holy Spirit to tell you " she is not dead she lives with Jesus ;) oh you will see her and even hear her beautiful voice again some day , do not weep for she is not left but for a moment ;) In the Ashes of life He will give you beauty . I wished i could have heard her sing i also sing too for my church ;) God bless and As we say in Hebrew Shalom

I went to school with Peggie, I remember her as a sweet and very happy young lady who was so full of life and very willing to makes others Happy as well. She graduated with my younger brother Scottie. I now work at Fort Lee Va in the Knowledge Management office and I traveled to the Pentagon today for work. "first time ever going there" I wanted to see the memorial and look for her name....... I was extreamly moved and overtaken by the sadness of her loss and all the others on that day. Peggie made such an inpression on so many people in her short but wonderful life. I can only imagine what she could have accomplished. I just smiled thinking about her.

A greatful friend,

Today Peggie there was an article in the local paper about you with your picture. It stated 9/11 victim not forgotten. It went on to say Navy ship pays tribute to fallen Pentagon worker. This Navy ship; the USS Arlington will honor all 184 people who lost their lives on 9/11 at the Pentagon. There is 200 pounds of steel from the wreckage on this ship from the Pentagon and 184 stars throughout the ship in honor of each victim. You were and still is blessed and your memories will always be in history. This ship construction started in 2008 and was christened in 2011. It's 684 feet long; has a crew of 373 and carry 800 troops; 14 expeditionary vehicles and 14 helicopters. This ship will be used to carry troops to war zones around the world. This ship was named after the 9/11 attack. Love you dearly and miss you alot.

Ten years has gone by since that tragic day. How I remember it well. I was in class at work when Lt. Spence said a plane had flew into the world trade tower in New York. A few minute later he stated another plane had flew into the second tower. When he said a plane had flew in the Pentagon; I said my niece works there. Every break I got that day I tried calling you only to get your voice mail. I tried calling your job there at the Pentagon; I could not get through. I called the Red Cross they said the phone lines are down; it maybe why you have not call because you can't get through. The worst part of it all was the people in class with me that had relatives worked at the Pentagon they had heard from them and they were alright; I could not get in touch with you. I know you would had call if you could to let us know that you were okay. I want you to know that I tried in every way I could to get in touch with you, and to find answers, visit hospitals to see if you were located in them, When I saw that big black hole the plane went into the Pentagon I had to shed tears. I only hope that you did not suffer in no way. I hope you just went on to be with GOD. I just want you to know that ten years has pass, I still miss you like it was just yesterday.

Hi Peggie, it's been about 10 years since you've been gone, Osama Bin Laden has been killed, that does not bring you back as well as the others who lost their lives on 09/11/01 RIP Peggie.

May 2, 2011

Peggie today is the second of May 2011; also 10 years after your death and so many other on 9/11/01 that the US Navy Seals finally killed Osama Bin Laden. I feel a closure somewhat has been done. I am also afraid for more retaliations against the United State.

On 9/11/2001 was a changing moment for me that day and for a lot others when you and a lot of people were murder in a desvastating way. On 1/20/2009 was another changing moment for me and a lot others; the first black President was inaugurated. I wish you and all the other people that died that day could see this day; a day to remember forever just like 9/11/01. But in someway I feel you already know about this. Love and miss you.

Peggie today is the 27th of August; the first day you begin work at the Pentagon six years ago. I remember asking you about your first day of work and you said it was alright; then you went on about how big the place was and far you had to walk to get to your destination for work. 9/11 is approaching soon and it is a day that will remain in my heart. I still see your smiling face and I want you to know it still hurt the way you had to leave; but I know you are at peace now and you don't have to worry about this earth because you are in a better place. I just want you to know that I miss your present and I will love you forever in my heart. Aunt Margaret

Peggie, I was thinking of you since Monday; the 16th of April when another tragedy happened right here in Virginia about three hours away from where we both lived. Another senseless act that took so many innocent people lives at Virginia Tech University. I could not help to think about 9/11; you and all the innocent people got killed that day. My heart goes out for each family members on that day and for the tragedy that happened this past Monday. I just wanted you to know that you are always in my heart. When I look at your pictures, the hurt is still there, but I know you are in a better place where there is peace and serenity. Knowing that makes me feel peace.

Love and miss you always.

Peggie,

Now don't you think for one second that since I haven't written to you in awhile that I've forgotten about you. *smile* As one of my angels, you know the truth. You still serve as a major influence in my life. I know I can accomplish all of my goals because of you. I was talking about you the other day..and I remember reading in your VSU yearbook that you ultimate goal was "to be an accountant for the federal government." You accomplished it..you made it! God saw you through and gave you just enough time to relish in your accomplishment. I pray that I can do the same and I would be blessed with enough time! I love you girl! Smile for me.

Our church will conduct a memorial service on Sunday, Sept. 8. One part of the service will be the reading of names of victims of the 9/11 tragedy. Peggie's name was drawn at random as one of those who died on American Airline Flight #11. Our prayers are with her family and all families who lost loved ones on that fateful day. May God bless you and keep you.

To My Dearest Peggie



I have waited a long time to be able to write this. I just want you to know that we had our Fourth Anniversary on Easter Sunday and we were richly blessed. I did what you told me to do; Yarmeka read the reflection and Lawonda read "the" letter. Even in the "spirit world" you are just awesome.



You knew when I became discouraged, You knew when it seemed like no one would keep their promise, and you knew when I began to cry. You whispered in my ear, "Why can't YOU do it?!!!"



I didn't sleep at all on Saturday, but when I rose on Sunday morning, I had this feeling that I just can't describe. I told Mom that I felt so GOOD inside. I knew then that you had already finished what I had started.



You told me that you wanted your Aunts to be recognized. I didn't have to do anything because you had already worked it out. Aunts Katherine, Lelia, Dorothy, Edith, and Christine were presented from the House of Delegates a resolution in your memory. I envisioned that "twinkle" you now have as they received it. You were happy it worked out okay.



Even Clarissa cooked this year. You always said that one day she was going to do something for you and she did just that. I will say it over and over again, "Even in the spirit world you are just awesome!!"



All of your family was there because you had already shown me. We just wanted to let you know that we love you, Grandma, Grandpa, Mary, Russell, and Frances. Your spirits were truly "in the place" on that day.



Together Peggie, WE DID IT AGAIN!!!

I don't even know where to begin, Peggie. Everyday, I wake up hoping that it was all a terrible nightmare. But everyday, I watch the news, and I see that it wasn't. I'm so sorry that it happened and even more sorry that it had to happen you. It's really hard not to think about that day and the pain hasn't gone away either...



I just wanted to give a shout out to you today, on your birthday. You know that we wouldn't forget!!! So Happy Birthday Mz. Fyne..I love U!!

May Peggie's beautiful voice and love of music, her life and love continue living in those who love her. May precious memories of times together lighten the sorrow in your hearts. Our hearts cry with you in your loss of Peggie.

America Cries

We see your sorrow-

and our hearts cry....

We can not erase your pain

but you do not have to face the anguish alone-for we-

-the American people-

are beside you.

We so desperately want to have the touch that brings you comfort,

the strength that gives you courage,

and the words to lighten your spirits.

And when we are left speechless

may the silence of our nation weave love into your hearts

to ease your sorrow.

May you find healing through our nation's strength as we-

-the American people-

face this difficult time together. Our hearts are with you. Teresa Jahn

Peggie a.k.a. Mz. Fyne. What can I say? I still don't believe that you are gone and I think that is because I refuse to believe that you were taken away from me and my family because of something that you had nothing to do with. You were always willing to help others and I vow to you that I will not forget all the advice and knowledge that you shared with me. You were one of the most positive and influential role models in my life. I am so sorry that you are gone-taken away from me and my family so senselessly. In church on first Sunday as we sing praises to the Lord, all I can do is think about you being beside me calling out with your heart through your voice in song. You're not there standing with me on my right side anymore. That seat is empty and it can never be filled. So now, as I sing, I cry-- all the time knowing that you have gone to a better place. Peggie, though we had our disagreements, I would not trade the world for either one of them. I love you and I miss you. A cousin such as you can never be forgotten.



Your loving 1st cousin,

Peggie,

I think about you every day. Sometimes I can't bare the pain that you are gone. You and I lived in the same home since the day you were born until the end. So we were sisters instead of neice and aunt. Then you became a daughter to me in so many ways. You know I am glad that we were close. The closeness that we've shared, the wonderful times and memories we had and shared together will always be in my heart until we meet again. You always tell me where you went, who you went with and what you were doing. Even when you were out of town on business you would call me and let me know. My love for you will always be there. I love you and miss you!

Peggie,

You were one in a million to me. You have always been like a sister to me, more than just a niece. I will miss the times that you have called me and told me that you were on your way to my house. I miss from hearing your advice. I love you and miss you dearly! You are always on my mind and in my heart. A day doesn't go by without me thinking of you, but we will meet again.

Love you always, your aunt

Peggie, you were everything that any person should want to be. You were strong, honest, and loved by all who knew you. The devastation that we have endured since you left us has not gone away...for everything that we've done together, we will always remember. The laughs that we had will always and I mean always be treasured in our hearts. I will continue to do all that I can to become a person like you. You helped to show me along with my mother the meaning and the value of a real woman. And I will always thank you and love you for that. Your wisdom and your courage to do great things on your own will continue to inspire me. I love you and I miss you!



Your little cousin:)

On 10/20, the Renaissance committee at Seoul American H.S. sponsored a walk that raised $21,000+ to benefit the children of victims of the terrorist attacks. All 800 people who walked walked for 3 victims. I walked for Ms. Hurt and four others because my friend, Pat Reddy of FORSCOM personally knew them. I am sorry for your loss. We Americans overseas mourn with you.

Peggy, I think of you everyday, remembering our last conversation over the phone September 9, 2001. You were so full of life, very happy about your new job at the Pentagon, not realizing that would be our last conversation. You have touch so many lives and loved by all that knew you. God said come home Peggy your work here is done. I can imagine two warriors, you and your mother (Mary)walking hand in hand in God's Kingdom rejoicing and having a hallelujah time. I miss you both.



A family member,

Peggie,



My Dear Friend,



I will truly miss talking, shopping and hanging out with you. I think about you each and every day. You was such a great person. You, Peggie, was truly Mz Fyne and so many ways. We'll meet again my friend.

My aunt Mrs. Esther Palmer from Alberta, Virginia remembered Peggy singing in the choir at the church. She informed me of loss. Since I grew up in Dundas, Virginia not that far from Kenbridge I wanted to extend my sympathy to the family. May the Lord bless and keep all of you, and make His face to shine upon you and give to each one of you inner peace. Amen
