We have talked and shared stories today about how strong, protective and sassy Peggy was. We have a lifetime of memories of her fun loving spirit. This quote depicts the great sadness that we are all feeling in our hearts today: “Mom/Grandma always taught us to be strong, because she knew that one day we would need the strength to bear her loss”.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the family through Carter Funeral Home, West Plains.
Graveside services will be held Friday, June 10, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at Redburn Cemetery, Oregon County, Missouri, under the direction of Carter Funeral Home, Inc., West Plains, Missouri.
