Peggy N. Edwards

Her family wrote, “Mom was seen as a kind, strong, capable woman who was happy in her roles of wife, mother and grandmother. Everyone loved and respected her. We have memories of her speaking of her faith in God during good times and bad, singing in church, and countless occasions where we saw her prayers answered, and her trust that God had a better plan when they were not.”

They also wrote, “Dad was a pilot, which gave Mom a life of moving often, including three years in Tokyo, Japan and many years in Anchorage, Alaska. She lived adventures she could not have imagined as a young girl, which included soloing as a student pilot soon after marriage and traveling literally around the world to five continents. When Dad retired from flying, they settled in Abilene, Texas and opened Texas Sun Shield window tinting, where they operated for many years until retirement. During those years Dad was active as a Colonel in the Confederate Air Force, and Mom as a “Colonel’s Lady”. Their final home together was in Winters, Texas, where Dad died in 2004. He rests in the Dallas-Ft. Worth National Cemetery. A year later after suffering a stroke, Mom moved into Ballinger Healthcare and Rehab, where she received loving care these past eight years. We are thankful to God for taking her quietly and peacefully, and happy she is reunited with Dad.”

Peggy leaves two daughters and son-in-law, Martha and Stew Trammell of Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Cynthia Cordova of Eagle River, Alaska; two brothers and sister-in-law, Jack and Velva Haney, of Temple, Texas, and Lee Haney, of Brownwood, Texas; five grandchildren and their spouses, Darrell and Beth Clark, SaraMae and Kent Kroeker, John and Brittnee Clark, Josh and Michelle Cordova, and Jared Cordova; and ten great-grandchildren, Kaylee Clark, Alissa Clark, Julia Clark, Evelyn Clark, Landen Clark, Ian Clark, Olivia Cordova, Brennan Cordova, Jack Cordova, and Haley Cordova; and her roommate and dear friend of eight years, Ms. Baker.

At her request no service is planned. Her ashes will be scattered at sites important to the family. Those wishing to send flowers are asked instead to contribute in her name to a charity of their choice. Arrangements were under the care of Elliott-Hamil Funeral Home, 542 Hickory, Abilene, TX.
