Kathryn “Peggy” Pennell Herron went to be with the Lord on Monday, June 14, 2010 after a sudden illness. Peggy was born to the late Thomas Nelson Pennell and Blanche Benfield Pennell near Wilkesboro, NC on February 10, 1928. Peggy was married to the late Carroll F. Herron and is survived by her children, Brent (Margaret) Herron of Pittsboro NC; Janet (Paul) Horton of Winston Salem NC; Mark (Karen) Herron of Alpharetta GA and Nancy (Robert) Hall of Apex NC. “Nana” was well loved by her 11 grandchildren, Sarah, Matthew (Christine), Lauren, Kathryn, Nicole, Anna, Rebecca, Alex, Joshua, Lydia and Miranda.
While married and raising her family in Durham NC, Peggy was a longtime member of Guess Road Baptist Church. Moving to Raleigh NC in 1986 after being widowed, Peggy joined Providence Baptist Church and later its church plant, Christ Baptist Church. A legendary prayer warrior, untold numbers of people have benefited from her strong faith in the power of prayer.
Profound thanks to the incredible care she received at Forsyth Medical Center. From the ER, to the TICU, to the Palliative Care Unit, our family received an incredible level of care and compassion. The love of Jesus Christ was manifested in the sacrificial love we received from members of Redeemer Presbyterian and New Hope Presbyterian Churches. Thank you for the gifts of music, prayer, worship and laughter brought to us by Phyllis and Dan Calhoun, Gloria Bartelt, Debbie Harrell, Tim and Katie Price, John Lindsay and Gerald Chrisco. Elders from Christ Baptist Church honored our mother by traveling to anoint her with oil and cover her with prayer.
Memorial Service will be held at Christ Baptist Church, Raleigh NC on Friday July 2, 2010 at 11:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Second Chance Pet Adoptions at www.secondchancenc.org.
