PEGGY JOYCE STEINER

STEINER, PEGGY JOYCE (MILLER) - of Maynardville, passed away on Saturday, June 28, 2014. Peggy was born on March 23, 1945, in Union County. She professed her faith in Jesus Christ and was a member of Alder Springs Baptist Church, where she especially enjoyed attending the women's group for strength and encouragement. Peggy's life was devoted to expressing love to her family and friends. Whether caring for her children, being "Nana" to her grandchildren, befriending a niece or nephew, or talking to a brother, sister or friend, she was always willing to put others needs before her own. Peggy adored making meals for her family and friends to encourage them to fellowship. She was a wonderful cook and expressed her love through the abundance of delicious dishes she prepared. She hosted many Christmas dinners, Easter egg hunts/ lunches, and Halloween cookouts so her family and friends would come together, strengthen friendships, and build memories. Peggy worked as a beautician and operated her own business (Lady-B-Lovely) for more than forty years. Even through her work she expressed love to her customers, whom she called "my ladies", by making trips to their homes when an illness kept them from traveling or by making a visit to the funeral home to style the hair of a friend's loved one that had passed away. Peggy approached life with a contagious smile and a happy spirit. She loved to love and is now rejoicing with her son in God's heavenly love.
