Peggy lived in Rocky Mount for over 50 years and was a homemaker, substitute teacher and realtor. Due to declining health, she lived with her son in Mint Hill, NC for the last seven months. She had a quick wit and loved being outside, a song with a good beat, playing bridge, and being with her family.
Peggy is survived by her brother, Bill Marx (Judy) of Virginia Beach; sons, John H Gilmore, Jr (Kelly) of Chapel Hill and Bill Gilmore (Terry) of Mint Hill; daughter, Jenny Thompson (Bryan) of Rocky Mount. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Ashley Poole (Brian), Matthew Gilmore (Emily), Sasha Gilmore, Garrett Bridger Gilmore (Sarah), Maddie Gilmore, Katie Gilmore and David Gilmore; great-grandchildren, Landin Poole, Clara Poole, Addie Kate Poole, Eli Poole, Jamie Gilmore, Octavia Gilmore and Eliza Bridger Gilmore.
A private celebration of Peggy’s Life will be held at later date.
