Peggie Russo-Millard, age 75, of Jonesborough, Tennessee, passed away on Monday, May 20, 2025. She was a visionary, motivator, full of life, and had an amazing internal compass.
Peggie poured every bit of her love and energy into her family. She adored being a supportive spouse, loving mother, and doting grandmother. She was a hands-on mother who home-schooled, instilled an appreciation for life, and prepared healthy food for her four children.
Peggie was an early adopter of whole foods and participated in produce co-ops in the 80’s, enjoyed gardening, and everything coming out of her kitchen was homemade. She worked in the financial industry as a bank branch manager for 16 years until becoming a mother. Peggie loved being a mother.
While Peggie lived in Mississippi, she was a champion for the underserved. She participated in the REACH program “Religious Education Activities for the Community Handicapped”. Peggie ran a chapter of “Right to Life” after moving to Tennessee where she enjoyed supporting other mothers in her community.
Peggie is survived by her loving husband, Randy Millard; her children, Evan Millard, Jarred Millard and his wife Erika, Sharayah Vermette and her husband Jason, and Tamara Grace Cordero; her nine grandchildren, Owen, Essie, Auri, Isla Grace, Lucas, Finley, Sebi, Eli, and Aviyah; her sister, Diana Quinn and her husband Charlie; numerous nieces, nephews, friends, neighbors, and acquaintances.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Daniel Russo and Esther Russo.
A memorial service will be held for Peggie at Monte Vista Funeral Home in Johnson City, Tennessee, on Wednesday, June 11th at 3:00 PM.
The family would like to express their appreciation and love to the caring staff of The Courtyards, whom were invaluable to Peggie’s family.
