Peggy M. Wood
Peggy M. Wood, 94, of Beaumont died peacefully on Sunday, December 29, 2024, comforted by her loving and caregiving grandson, Rob Patton. She was born on April 12, 1930, to Hattie and Charles Miertschin in Thorndale, Texas. She worked at Coastal Pools alongside her husband, Carlton Wood, for over 50 years as administration assistant and pay role clerk. Peggy loved working side by side with Carlton and was proud of never missing a pay role for over 50 years.
Peggy was affectionally known as Mimi! While this was her and Carlton’s second marriage, the word “step” was never used because she treated each as her family. Peggy’s hobbies included gardening, attending estate sales, decorating, and pouring affection on Carlton, family, and friends. During her lifetime, Peggy had a soft heart for her canine friends and had at least five dogs whom she cared for lovingly. She was especially fond of her last dog, Will, who would sit by her side as she read her daily newspaper, drank beer and ate chocolates. It was rumored that she sometimes shared with Will. Peggy loved all sports and was an avid Dallas Cowboy fan. Peggy never loved anyone more than she did Carlton, but Troy Aikman and Tiger Woods came close. Friends and family would never leave her home without receiving some gracious gift. Peggy was a generous soul who was a giver in life.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Carlton Wood; brother, Charles Miertschin; son, Carlton Wood III; daughter, Mary Jane Rayner. She is survived by many family including children, grandchildren, and great-grandchild. She left behind many loving friends who will miss her friendship and laughter.
A gathering of Mrs. Wood’s family and friends will be from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m., Thursday, January 2, 2025, at Broussard’s, 1605 North Major Drive, Beaumont. Her graveside service will be 11:00 a.m., Friday, January 3, 2025, at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 4955 Pine Street, Beaumont.

Terribly sorry to learn of this. I lived in Beaumont in the mid 70’s, and knew Carlton and Peggy prior to their marriage. I’m not sure I have ever seen a couple more suited to each other than they were. It was a pleasure to behold.
Peggy was a sweet and beautiful woman. A dear neighbor to my mother Amelie who adored her. We miss her so much already.
Martin knew Peggy much longer than i did. He always told me that she was the bright light in Carlton’s life. She loved making Carlton happy and her kindness to people around her was natural. I never heard her say a negative thing, about Anything!!!!! She was honestly one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever known.
Martin knew Peggy much longer than I did. He always told me that she was the bright light in Carlton’s life. He never saw her do anything except try and make Carlton and others happy and comfortable! I never heard her say a negative thing, about Anything!!! . She was truly a wonderful lady. God Bless you Peggy.
Miss Peggy was always sweet to me and was a wonderful neighbor. She was always so friendly, I wish I could have known longer. My grandparents loved her and Carlton. She will be missed. So sorry for your loss, Rob.
Peggy was a real joy. I miss seeing her and Will on their walks.
Peggy was a delightful, positive person who always was thinking of others and what she could do for them. She enriched the lives of many.
Miss Peggy was our neighbor and friend during our time in Beaumont, TX. We enjoyed visits at her home and especially her garden. Miss Peggy was kind and always gracious. She will always have a special place in my heart.
Our Peggy was the maid of honor at Charles and I’s wedding in 1959 – later Peggy became the godmother of both our boys Matt and Mike. We will miss hearing from you, Peggy – the best sister-in-law ever!
Love, Ernestine and the whole El Paso Family
Peggy reminded me in many ways of my own mother – always classy and concerned for others. May her memory be a blessing in the Book of Life.
Peggy was always a sweet snd kind lady
Carlton and Peggy were the perfect match.
We have great memories of Peggy and Carlton over the years both at the duck lease on Spindletop Bayou and at the deer lease in Pearsall. Peggy was always a good sport and had a smile on her face and always let Carlton go hunting with the boys whenever he wanted which was alot! She was loved by many and will be missed by all.
We had lots of fun times with Peggy and Carlton at Sam Rayburn and many other trips and outings. Peggy had a sweet personality, never having an unkind word for anyone. Peggy will be missed by all that knew her.
I was blessed to inherit her love 💕 of nature, plants and animals. She always said she didn’t trust a person that didn’t have any fur on them. I miss you so much, Mom ❤️
Knowing Peggy for many years and she was a delight. I know she was not pleased as she was not able to do all the things she wanted as she spent the whole of her life quite independent. Thank you to her grandson who did whatever was possible for her to remain independent.
Peggy Wood was a class lady, with a generosity of sharing her outstanding personality. Through her husband, she made a difference in the lives of many people. She will be missed by friends and neighbors in her home community.
