She was predeceased by her husband Earl Jolls.
“Peg” graduated from East Texas Baptist University in 1961. Peg was a spiritual seeker, always after the heart of God. She is the author of at least three books of spirituality. She was devoted to the people and the causes she loved and believed in. One of those causes was Heifer International that seeks to help lift people out of poverty by helping them become more self sufficient. Peg possessed numerous talents—public school music teacher, church choir director, director of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, designer of theatrical productions, voice teacher, soloist at several houses of worship, an artist—painter of pictures and beautiful handmade pottery.
Peg’s most important legacy is her positive influence on her students. She gave them confidence and taught them skills that have lasted them throughout their lives. She and her husband introduced literally hundreds of teenagers the excitement and wonders of camping.
Peg’s service will be on Monday, October 19 at 2 pm at graveside at Oakdale Cemetery. Peg wanted her friends to gather at graveside to celebrate her life and share old times with each other, maybe an impromptu song.
