She was born in Hamilton, Alabama and moved to Roanoke Rapids in her teens after a tragic vehicle accident that almost killed her and claimed the life of her twin sister and mother.
She was raised here in NC by Rev. Daniel S. Hux and his wife, Mae, who was her mother’s sister.
Our mother/NANA married our dad on January 9, 1953 and have been married for 69 years. She was a wonderful and strong woman with a fierce faith in God.
Peggy attended school in Hamilton, Alabama from 1st – 7th grade then moved to NC and graduated from Aurelian Springs High School in Littleton, NC.
She was a lifetime member of the Red Cross Gallon Club.
She loved to cook for the family on Sundays and Holidays, a wonderful southern lunch.
Peggy also loved dearly her special pet Pomeranian “Sunshine.”
