Peggy Wheless Obituary
December 20, 1940 - June 15, 2025
Peggy Dallas Hagood Wheless passed away on June 15, 2025. Born in rural Chesterfield County, Virginia on December 20, 1940, to Gideon Hagood and Elizabeth (Sangster) Hagood, Peggy and her twin sister Patty (Miller) were the last children of 13. She is survived by her husband of 65 years, Robert Lee Wheless, Sr., her three sons, Robert Lee Jr., Ronald Dean and Kenneth Clay, nine grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and her twin sister, Patty (Hagood) Miller. Family was the cornerstone of Peggy's life. Situated on 14-acres, her childhood home was a hub of activity where she picked berries, canned vegetables, played with her siblings and gathered with her extended family. At 18, Peggy married Robert, who enlisted in the U.S. Army. Together they embarked on an adventure that took them far away from their Virginia roots. From Massachusetts to Turkey, New Jersey to Arizona, and ultimately to Germany, Peggy embraced the adventure of military life. She described finding her "home" in Germany, where her small family of five truly blossomed. A woman of deep faith, Peggy's greatest wish was for those she loved to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. A memorial service will be held at Laurel Hill Memorial Park and Funeral Home on Sunday, June 29, 2025, beginning at 4:00 p.m.
