Peggy was born in Atlanta, GA in 1942 to Dr. Hoyt J. Reeves and Edith McCoy Reeves. She attended The Westminster Schools in Atlanta, GA and then was a proud graduate of Finch College in New York City. She married Rawson Foreman and was married for 47 years until his death. She was proud of her work as a chef, and trained with Julia Child and Simone Beck, but the highlight of her career was empowering people to be wonderful cooks themselves. She was a member of the Atlanta Junior League, The Cherokee Garden Club, and served on the Board of the High Museum of Art for many years. She also was a proud member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. She was a world traveler and found great joy visiting the four corners of the world.
She has two surviving children: Margaret Langdon Foreman and Mary Rawson Foreman. Mary Rawson and her husband, Kirk Rorrer, have two children, much beloved by Peggy: Alexa Rorrer and Evan Rorrer; nieces: Alexa Foreman, Wendy Clement, and Linda Clement. She died peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones. Peggy was a strong independent thinker, a book reader, and a community minded citizen. She leaves behind many wonderful friends.
A memorial service will be held at 11 AM on Friday, March 3rd at St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Light refreshments to follow. All are welcome.
