Peggy Lou McComas

Peggy Lou McComas, aged 66, passed away on December 6, 2024, after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer. Born in Baltimore, MD, Peggy later settled in Ridgeley, WV, where she embraced her retirement surrounded by her loving children and grandchildren.

Peggy dedicated 15 years to the Anne Arundel County Police Department as a 911 Dispatcher, where she retired in 2020. Throughout her career, she earned numerous awards and recognitions, trained countless new hires, and provided unwavering support to individuals during challenging times. After her retirement, Peggy worked part-time at Rocky Gap Casino Resort in the call center.

Peggy was truly one of a kind. Her positive outlook on life was contagious, and she embodied kindness, generosity, compassion, and patience. A devoted mother, sister, Mimi, aunt, and friend, she touched the lives of everyone she met and will be profoundly missed.
