With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Peggy Jean Sanders on September 24, 2024 in her home surrounded by her family, at the age of 74.

A great-grandmother to 17 great-grandchildren. Also, an aunt to many nieces and nephews. She is now reunited with her siblings Art Sanders, Dee Riley, Pat Tangney, Ricky Sanders. Peggy was known for her big heart and fierce love for her family. She worked tirelessly as a single mother, ensuring her children always had what they needed, often going without herself to make that possible. Stubborn as she was loving, Peggy approached life with generosity that extended beyond her family to everyone she encountered. She found joy in the simple things- fishing, smoking her cigarettes, listening to audiobooks, playing games on her computer, and always putting others first. Despite the challenges she faced, Peggy never complained and remained a pillar of strength for her family. She was the best mother anyone could ask for and will be remembered for her warmth, her unwavering care, and her hard work. Peggy will be deeply missed by all who knew her and her giving spirit will remain with us forever.
