A lifelong resident of Banks County, Peggy was a fun- loving ray of sunshine to all who knew her. She was a loving wife for 59 years. To her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, Nana was a short order cook, physician, psychiatrist, historian, disciplinarian and dispenser of solicited and unsolicited wisdom and advice. The family void created by her Heavenly departure brings sadness that cannot be overstated and can only be endured by the realization of Peggy strolling the streets of Glory with Jesus her savior and the countless friends and family gone before her.
