Peggy Joyner Obituary
Peggy was welcomed into heaven by her parents; her husband of 71 years, William H. Joyner Sr. (Bill); sons Billy, Jeff, and Mike Joyner; brothers Junior, Jim, and Jack Adams; sisters Ethel Adams Barber and Mary Lee Adams Hartman; and grandson Joe Joyner. She is survived by her children Brenda Joyner Legg, Bob (Merrilyn) Joyner, Deborah Joyner Hendrix, and Martha Joyner McCraw; sister Linda Adams Cantrell; along with 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren.
Peggy graduated from Griffith High School in 1948, and married Bill in July of that same year. They would later move from Winston-Salem to Mocksville, NC building not just a house, but a home, where they created a lifetime of memories filled with love and laughter.
After raising her children, Peggy pursued her love of numbers by founding Peggy Joyner's Income Tax Service, which she proudly owned and operated for 25+ years. Her dedication, warmth, and sharp mind earned the trust of her many clients. A faithful member of Blaise Baptist Church, Peggy cherished her Sunday school class and the friendships she made there. She also loved being surrounded by friends & family, traveling, journaling, reading, and could often be found working a jigsaw puzzle or her daily sudoku.
The family wishes to thank all of Peggy's caregivers for their kindness and devotion, with special gratitude to her longtime caregiver and friend, Sharon, and to the staff of Gentiva Hospice of Wilkesboro who lovingly supported Peggy in her final days.
Services will be at Blaise Baptist Church in Mocksville, NC, on Wednesday, September 24. Visitation begins at noon, with the funeral at 1:00 p.m. led by Pastor Ken Furches, and graveside service immediately following.
Memorial contributions in Peggy's honor may be made to Blaise Baptist Church, 134 Blaise Church Rd, Mocksville, NC 27028
