Margaret Ruth Hart

Celebrating a Life Well-Lived:

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Margaret Ruth Hart (Coleman), fondly known as Peggy. A devoted Christian, Peggy lived her life with a gentle spirit and a heart rooted in faith as a member of Northside Christian Church. Her journey on this earth came to a peaceful end on December 14, 2025, leaving behind cherished memories and a legacy of kindness, love, and generosity.

Life and Legacy

Born in Indianapolis, Indiana on June 19,1942, during a time of hope and promise, she grew to touch the lives of many through her compassion and unwavering support. Her smile brightened every room, and her wisdom guided all who sought her counsel. A dedicated human, she devoted herself to ensuring every child felt loved and surrounded by laughter.

Family and Community

Peggy is survived by a loving family, devoted friends, and all those who had the privilege of knowing her. She is survived by her devoted husband of 64 years, Jerry Robert Hart; her son, Greg Hart (Raven); granddaughters Ashley Wilhelm (Aaron) and Amanda Hart (Brittney); grandsons Bryce Shackleford and Ben Shackleford (Jessica); and great grandchildren Brooks and Hudson Shackleford. She is also survived by her sister and closest friend, Rosie Carle and brother Rick Coleman (Melva). She is preceded in death by her daughter, Sherri Hart Shackleford, and we know she will be overjoyed to be reunited with her beloved daughter.

Remembrance

A memorial service will be held to honor her life and contributions at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Englewood Meals on Wheels or Tidewell Hospice in their memory, continuing the legacy of giving that defined her life.

May her soul rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing to all.
