Peggy Sue Grayum DEAN

I remeber Peggy as a grand tea party lady. She love to have any kind of party. WE would go over to her deck and have lemonade and ice tea and cookies on her deck. She got a kick out of my son Andrew Dean, my husband painted her house and mowed her lawn. What a great person she was.

Even as a small child, I recognized Aunt Peggy's special gift for fashioning a full sensuous life shaped by her generosity, her openness and love of adventure. How magical visits would be! How exotic and rich! Aunt Peggy introduced me to the world of the arts, to glamour and joie de vivre.

Being near Aunt Peggy was like experiencing Technicolor for the first time. When I hungered for direction as a girl moving into adolescence, I could almost hear her whisper to me:

May God give you comfort at this time.

I will remember my aunt Peggy as a witty and lively woman who's eyes glowed with affection and warmth. My heartfelt condolances to all of you. Love,
Aunt Sue

Peggy was my beautiful aunt, and I will always remember her beautiful brown eyes, her style and spirit, and her wonderful home. My heart is with my cousins Leslie, Harriett and Camilla

Peggy was a spirited,fiesty lady. Over the past fews years I have shared being single, getting married, and having a baby with Peggy. So sophisticated and well mannered I thought the world of Peggy Dean. She brought comfort and joy to my life and forever and ever I will remember her in my heart. She was another grandmother to my daughter who knew her as Grandma Peggy. God Bless her family and God has already blessed Peggy Dean.

Leslie, so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. Our condolences go out to you and your family.
