MARGARET WAKEFIELD Obituary
Peggy leaves her spouse, John "Jack" Wakefield, and their children: Joseph Wakefield, Margaret "Meg" Valz (Fred), Michael Wakefield (Gayla), and Martha Ann "Marti" Kenworthy (Owen). She was also a proud grandmother to John Wakefield, Robert Wakefield, Margaret Valz Petersen (Michael), Emily Valz, Maxwell Valz, Chason Wakefield, Caroline Wakefield, Michael Wakefield, Katherine Kenworthy, and Connor Kenworthy. Peggy and Jack were married on December 27, 1958, exactly 65 years before her death.
Preceding Peggy in death were her father, James Joseph Halloran, her mother, Anne Moore Halloran, her aunts Martha Halloran, Mary Halloran, and Margaret Kinnucan, and her uncles John Halloran, and Edward Halloran.
Peggy was the matriarch of her family and held her Catholic faith close to her heart. She was a fun-loving, family-oriented individual who was known for her organizational skills and caregiving nature.
Peggy attended Christ the King Elementary and graduated from St. Bernard Academy in Nashville. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, where she was a member of the Sigma Kappa sorority.
Peggy taught in the Nashville public schools. She volunteered in the St Joseph's Hospital Auxiliary in Atlanta for 32 years and served as its president. Peggy's commitment to education and healthcare made a lasting impact on those she served.
Funeral mass will be celebrated on January 12, 2024 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Peter Chanel Catholic Church, Roswell, GA. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the following charitable organizations:

• Mercy Care (424 Decatur St, SE, Atlanta, GA 30312) through their foundation website (mercyatlanta.org/foundation).
Peggy will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all those whose lives she touched. May her soul rest in eternal peace.
