Obituary

Peggy L. Holmes left this earth on Dec. 29, 2020, following nearly 5 years battling cancer. Her sense of humor remained in full force right up until the end as she flirted with the male nurses and harassed her daughters - threatening to haunt each of them if they got out of line. Her laughter filled the hospital and delighted all who visited her … she always wanted to leave this earth with laughter.
