Margaret "Peggy" Childress
10/13/1943 - 01/12/2025
Margaret "Peggy" Childress, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and friend was born October 13, 1943. She passed away peacefully on January 12, 2025. Peggy's radiant spirit, deep love for her family, and commitment to her faith will forever be cherished by those who knew her.
Peggy was born with a heart full of kindness and a zest for life that was evident in everything she did. She is survived by her devoted husband, John Childress; her loving daughters, Melody DuBridge (husband Darrick) and Michelle Abel (husband Adam); and her cherished grandchildren, Christopher Causer, Bradley Causer, Dean Causer, Amanda Hoyle, Nicholas Abel, and Matthew Abel. Peggy's legacy lives on through her great-grandchildren, Angelique, Killian, Temperance, Mariah, Lance, Steven, Matthew, and Haisley. She is also survived by her siblings, nephews, and extended family, including her nephew Vincent Bibbee (wife Summer).
Peggy was preceded in death by her daughter, Debra Hoyle, and her sister, Betty Bibbee (husband Robert), who undoubtedly welcomed her into their arms in heaven.
Peggy had a deep love for her church and found joy and peace in her faith. She loved spending time with her faithful companion, her dog Casper. In her younger years, Peggy was an active traveler, a spirited square dancer, and a proud member of the Red Hat Society, enthusiastically engaging in community events and gatherings. Her warm personality and infectious laughter made her a beloved presence wherever she went.
Above all, Peggy treasured her family, and her home was always filled with love, laughter, and heartfelt conversations. Her children and grandchildren were her pride and joy, and she never missed an opportunity to celebrate their accomplishments.
Margaret "Peggy" Childress will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her generosity of spirit, and the boundless love she shared with everyone she met. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness and love that will continue to inspire her family and friends for generations to come.
A memorial service to honor Peggy's life will be held January 17th, 2025 at 10:00 a.m.at Jensen's Funeral Home in Sierra Vista, AZ. The family kindly requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Peggy's memory to First Christian Church in Sierra Vista, AZ.
Rest in peace, Peggy. You will be deeply missed and forever loved
