To the Family of Peggy Our friendship with Peggy and Boots began when Peggy and I worked at First Security Bank. She was a friend to so many . She took me under her wing and the special love and admiration for her has grown each year . She always made sure we had her famous mayhaw and blueberry jelly.. Her family was a very important part of her life. Keep the many special memories in your heart. May God grant you comfort and peace in your sorrow. Our prayers and love.

David, I am so sorry to learn of your mother's passing. She was a dear cousin and a very special person. To my grandfather, Bill George, she was his favorite niece. Peggy always had a smile and a hearty laugh and brought joy to a lot of people. She will be missed. We will see you this weekend. Randy Hughes

Peggy became a “beauty shop” friend. It was always a pleasure to see her. May God’s love give pease and rest to her family and friends.

My husband and kids were neighbors in Bevil Oaks years ago with the Gonzales. She not only cooked for family and friends but for our dog Sarge who adopted David as his other owner. After we moved Sarge went back almost every Friday to visit about 1/2 mile. Boots and Peggy were good neighbors and I also had the pleasure to visit her in the bank. May God's blessings give the family peace.
