I am so sorry to hear about the loss of sweet Peggy. Her and I go way back. When she first moved back to Marion after her first husband passed away. Orchard Towers, second husband. Then Marion Manor apts. with her dog brownie. Then Miller wood apts and she had another dog. She was always smiling and so sweet and kind, getting her sandwiches at the sandwich shop downtown Marion. Praying for peace and comfort for Peggy and her family and friends. ✝

I’m so saddened to hear of Peggy’s passing. She was such a very sweet lady/friend that I thought a lot of. Peggy always shined her light as a true Christian, she made me feel welcomed and loved in church or out in the public when I would see her. Unlike many now days, when I may have just been feeling down, depressed, or when I may not have attended church on a regular basis, she would always say “you matter!! “ She definitely was a true inspiration to me and will be missed! She loved Our God and He Is Love.
With deepest sympathy,
