Peggy Ann Hartsell, 77, of Locust, North Carolina went to her heavenly home on October 14, 2025. Born on July 4, 1948, to the late Luther Madison Hartsell and Autie Whitley Hartsell. She was preceded in death by her sisters Lucielle Mullis and Linda Mullis, and by her brother Larry Hartsell.

Peggy is survived by her daughters Amy Buckles (Ralph) and Julie Phifer (Woody). She was a proud and loving grandmother to Kyle Ford (Lauren), Cody Buckles (Hayley), and Brittany Brazell (Griffin), and a cherished great-grandmother to Hadlee, Jamison, and Remi, who all brought her endless happiness. She is also survived by Dwight Hartsell (Brother).

Peggy was raised in a Christian home and carried her faith throughout her life. She attended New Life Church of Locust.

A graduate of Bethel High School, Class of 1966, Peggy will be remembered for her deep love for her family and friends. She especially enjoyed attending the senior center's music nights, where she loved tapping her feet and visiting with her friends.

Peggy's faith, strength, and unwavering love will continue to inspire those who were blessed to know her. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered in the hearts of her family and friends.
