Publish in a newspaper

Mildred Juanita "Peggy" Wilson, age 87, of Abingdon, Virginia, formerly of Honaker, Virginia went home to be with the Lord on Thursday (October 2, 2025) at her home. Born August 22, 1938 in Honaker, Virginia, she was a daughter of the late Clarence Burt "Pete" and Lula Mae Reavis Jackson. She loved her garden and flowers (yellow roses were her very favorite), cooking and animals, especially cats, dogs and horses. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, and watching tv ministers daily once her health prevented her from attending church. Her relationship with God was the most important aspect of her life and she spent time daily in prayer and reading her Bible.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Ronald Lewis "Red" Wilson; brother, James Harrison "Buster" Jackson and wife, Joyce; sister, Ruby "Ellen" Jackson; paternal grandparents, William David and Sarah Louise Harvey Reavis Grogan; step-grandfather, Worley Grogan; maternal grandparents, Almarine and Selina Vencille Jackson; brothers-in-law, Ken Wilson, William Robert "Bob" Suits, Byrchel Poskas, Russell "Russ" Nerase and John Street and sister-in-law, Gertrude "Trudy" Damron.

Survivors include her daughter, Rhonda Ann Jessee and fiancé, Anthony Robinson of Abingdon, Virginia; granddaughter, Sarah Nichole Jessee of Abingdon, Virginia; sisters, Mary "Bug" Poskas of Tazewell and Margaret "Sue" Suits Street of Rosedale, Virginia; sister-in-law, Lake Ella Nerase of Bristol, Virginia and several nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly and her precious fur babies, Levi and Shadow also survive.

The family would like to extend a very special thank you to Amedysis Therapy and the Clinch Valley Medical Center 4th floor second shift staff and therapists as well as Dr. Faisal Chaudhry and Scott and Wendy at Walgreens of Lebanon for the wonderful care they provided and for being so kind to their family.

Funeral services will be conducted at 11 AM Wednesday in the Honaker Funeral Home Chapel with Denise Hubbard officiating. Interment will follow in Ketron Memorial Gardens in Lebanon, Virginia.

Relatives and friends will serve as pallbearers.

The family will receive friends after 6 PM Tuesday at Honaker Funeral Home where an evening service will be conducted at 7 PM .
