Peggie, the daughter of the late Bernice Leslie and Mary Francis Crosby Leslie, was born in Dry Branch on August 3, 1940. She worked as a bookkeeper and retired from Dry Branch Kaolin. Peggie’s life was dedicated to her family. A loving wife, mother and mamama, these were her most treasured titles. Not a day went by that she did not serve and love her family and those under her care. Whether it was a long phone call, a hot meal that she loved to see enjoyed, or making sure there was always a big pot of sweet tea in the refrigerator when someone came over, she was always ready to tend to their every need with joy and satisfaction.
Peggie’s favorite pastime was entertaining guests and her favorite company was her great grandchildren. They could do no wrong and she made sure everyone knew it. Peggie walked with the Lord and knew that one day she would be healed at Jesus’ feet. She longed for the day when she would be reunited with her husband of 66 years, Billy. Today they are together and we now long for the day when we will be reunited with them both.
Peggie will be lovingly remembered by her children Lisa Suggs Benton (Vic), Lori Pritchard and Roger Pritchard (Felicia); her grandchildren Wesley Helmer, Angie Helmer, Logan Elder (Adam), Kaylie Anderson (Clint) and Taylor Pritchard; her great-grandchildren Ace Elder, Lucy Elder, Huntlee Elder, Dusty Kayte Elder, Clay Anderson and Cason Astin; and her siblings Gayle Harris and Tommy Leslie (Linda).
Before Peggie’s death, her husband Billy Rogers Pritchard died.
