Mrs. Ross was the greatest example of Christian charm.   My wife
and I are eternally grateful for the impact she has had on our lives
and the lives of our girls and their families.  She taught our girls in kindergarten and did a phenomenal job teaching and working with them in music.  She was our church organist for over forty years.  My wife played the church piano for many  years with her.  She was extremely loyal to her church and pastor and was one of the greatest Christians we have ever met.  Her and Bro. Ross were wonderful examples for all married couples to follow - they were committed to one another and to their family! 


When I think about Mrs Ross, I think about her kindergarten classroom and learning numbers and phonics. She brought a toy to the hospital when I had my tonsillectomy.  I hope I can be as good a teacher as she was. 

Aunt Peggy- a woman who truly loved her Lord and lived her life showing Him to everyone she met. I don’t think I ever heard a complaint or ill word come from her mouth. She had such grace in her everyday life. I will always remember the very windy Sunday morning we were leaving church and her wig (she was battling breast cancer at the time and chemo had taken her hair) flew off her head and blew across the church parking lot. She just said Daniel please run catch it, which he did and she placed it back on her head, grinned, and said well I guess that was a sight for anyone watching. We laughed and hugged. She never lost a beat. She loved her family with all her heart,especially Uncle Speck. She was so proud of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews and never failed to tell them. Aunt Peggy you will be greatly missed but we will see you again. Enjoy celebrating with Jesus. We love you. Daniel and Donna Leonard and Family

She was such a beautiful lady inside and out. When I think of Mrs. Ross I think of a gracious and classy lady. Her faithfulness to the Lord and the church has left an impression on so many. 

Mrs .Ross was a beautiful soul !  Praying for each of her family ! May God bless you during this time !
