Peggy Ann Sudgen of Crossville, TN passed away on May 31, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on December 3, 1946, in North Tonawanda, NY, Peggy lived a life filled with love, compassion, and dedication to her family, friends, and the church community of St. Alphonsus, which she cherished.

Peggy was preceded in death by her loving parents, Ralph Walter Sudgen and Rose Marie Sudgen, as well as her dear sister and brother-in-law, Judy and Frank Pluff. She is survived by her devoted niece, Mary Pluff of Crossville, TN, and her nephew, Thomas Pluff, and his wife, Becky, of Lancaster, NY. Peggy was also a cherished great-aunt to Zachary Pluff and Tyler Pluff.

Peggy spent many years working in a factory and later contributing her compassionate heart and caring nature at Life Care of Crossville. Her work was a testament to her kind and selfless spirit, always eager to lend a helping hand.

Peggy had a profound love for animals, especially her beloved cats, Annie, Andy, and her poodle, Emmylou. Her love for animals was matched only by her passion for caring for others and love of life.

In her free time, Peggy enjoyed the solace of a good book, the joyful rivalry of a card game, adventure of cruising, attending rodeo bull riding, NASCAR and all major league sports.

Peggy had the best neighbors in the world.

A Memorial Mass will be held at St. Alphonsus Catholic Church on Friday, July 11, 2025, at 11:00 AM. Following the service, Peggy will be interred at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church Columbarium.
