“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:35
Peggy truly knew that it was more blessed to give than to receive. Her generosity knew no boundaries. She was a loving mother and Mema and a beautiful soul who would help anyone. Peggy was known for her strong will, unwavering determination, and love and support for the community. When she was not operating the Myers convenient stores or Myers Wholesale, she loved fishing in Sneads Ferry, NC. She was passionate about antiques and regularly visited estate sales and auctions. Barbies and dolls brought Peggy so much happiness. Above all, Peggy was a God-fearing woman who believed in the protection of His Angels and the everlasting love of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Although Peggy’s departure leaves an unfillable void in our lives, we take comfort in the memories and unconditional love that we shared and have peace in knowing we will be reunited some day.
“I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”
2 Timothy 4:7
