Peggy was born on May 27, 1926 in Gerster, MO to John and Edna (Nickel) Tucker. On August 4, 1945 Peggy married the love of her life, John Endley Jr. They were married almost 75 years.

Peggy enjoyed life; she traveled the world extensively, loved her friends and family well, and was young at heart even to the end. In addition to the two daughters born to Peggy and John, they also had many cherished “kids” they loved and helped over the years; Judy Millsap, Tracey Allison, and many others, far too many to mention. Peggy taught us all valuable lessons about cooking, gardening, farm life, marriage, children, serving others, and most importantly our Heavenly Father.

Peggy and John were dedicated farmers of various crops and livestock for over 55 years, insurance Agents for MFA Shelter Insurance in Hickory County for 28 years, and served with love and dedication for 55 years at Weaubleau Baptist Church. After moving to Columbia in 2001, Peggy happily served the community at Parkade Baptist Church. Peggy is greatly loved and will be sorely missed.

The family would like to thank The Arbors at Mill Creek Village and Kindred Hospice for their amazing care.

Peggy is survived by her husband, John Endley Jr; two daughters, Carolyn (Bill) Callen, of Colorado Springs, CO, and Joylyn “Joy” (David) Dunafon, of Columbia, MO; five grandchildren, Cameron Dunafon, Karen Callen, Kendra (Jon) Ramirez, Jill (Mark) Schwab, and Andrea (Jeff) Matlock; and 11 great grandchildren, Caleb, Ava, Chase, and Walker Dunafon, Sydney, Ellie, and Henry Schwab, and Lydia, Max, Calvin, and Reid Matlock.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to: P.E.T. Mobility, 1908 Heriford Rd, Columbia MO 65202, Parkade Baptist Church, or Weaubleau Baptist Church.
