Peggy was born September 2, 1941, in Milan, TN, the second of six children born to Thomas and Dorothy Stewart Whitt. Peggy was outgoing and caring, and truly never met a stranger.

She had a feisty and fiery personality and was fiercely protective of the family she loved so dearly. Peggy enjoyed playing video games on her PlayStation, with Spyro being one of her favorites. She also loved settling in to watch her soaps, or “her stories,” and the Game Show Network. Peggy will be remembered for her strong personality, caring heart, and the love she had for her family and friends.

Peggy is survived by her children, Judy Horn (Keith) Miller and Susan Horn Hammond, both of Water Valley; grandchildren, Tammy Miller, Kelley Higdon, Melissa Ferguson, JT Horn, and Amanda Horn; numerous great-grandchildren and great great-grandchildren; and her siblings, Ronnie (Trish) Whitt and Debbie Whitt (Johnny) Keymon, both of Atwood, TN.
