Peggy Brodnax Rosamond, 92, of Brentwood, Tennessee, passed away peacefully surrounded by caring friends and family on September 2, 2026. Peggy was a resident of The Heritage at Brentwood, where she enjoyed going on excursions with her neighbors. She loved so many Somerfield staff members and would talk of them frequently. Peggy also loved visiting with her granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and two great-grandsons, who live nearby.
Peggy was born on September 23, 1933, in Weir, Mississippi, to Joe and Jewel Brodnax. She was an only child and especially loved her grandfather, who also lived with the family.
Peggy married Carroll Rosamond, her high school sweetheart, and they had a baby girl, Jo Carol. The couple then moved to Jackson, Mississippi, where Peggy worked as an administrative assistant.
The couple moved to Dallas, Texas, in the 1980s and Peggy became assistant to the CEO of J.W. Bateson, the construction firm that built Texas Stadium. She worked at Bateson until her retirement.
Peggy and Carroll moved to Madison, Mississippi, after retirement to be closer to family, and after Carroll’s passing in 2021, Peggy moved to The Heritage at Brentwood in 2022.
Peggy is survived by a daughter, Jo Carol Stone, of Madison, Mississippi, and a granddaughter, Leah Schmidt (Jeff), of Brentwood, Tennessee, along with two great-grandsons, Cade and Chandler Harris. She was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Jewel Brodnax of Weir, Mississippi, and her beloved husband, Carroll Rosamond.
Peggy loved to laugh and was charismatic and friendly to all. She will be missed by many.
