A small book could be written about Peggy Ramsey….about her loving kindness to everyone, her dedication to her Lord, her family, her Sunday School class and her church. To those of us who knew her, we all knew she was a real treasure. Thoughts and prayers to the family who will miss her most of all.
Worked with Peggy all those years and she was a most delightful person. Even if you felt down for some reason she would soon pick you up again. It was a delight having her in your department or area. I am sure the family feels really proud of her. I was sorry to hear that she had passed but it brought back all the good memories. Sorry that I will not be able to attend the services because I recently had a small stroke and still recovering.
Peggy will be missed by all who knew her. I will miss seeing her and that smile she had. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Peggy was such a true genuine friend and her Love of God was so evident in the way she lived her life! She loved her precious family that gave her so much Joy ! May God bless you all and may we all follow her example 🙏Love Bobbie Mcmahan
