Mrs. Margaret “Peggy” McKey went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, November 18, 2020. She was born March 29, 1935 in Harnedsville, PA, the only child of Arnold and Mary Camp. She wed Delbert “Del” McKey on May 29, 1954. They were married almost 50 years when Del preceded her in death in 2004. Following his passing, Peggy remained in Jacksonville for 16 years. Peggy was a dedicated Christian woman who enjoyed reading her bible every day. She also enjoyed watching Billy Graham and Charles Stanley on television.
In her younger years, Peggy played the piano at University Baptist Church for 20+ years. In 1978, Peggy and Del moved their membership to First Baptist Church, downtown Jacksonville, where she was a committed Sunday School teacher for many years. After Del’s passing, Peggy joined Southpoint Baptist Church in 2011. She is best remembered for the love and care she gave in raising her family as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend.
She was predeceased by her parents and husband, Delbert McKey. She is survived by her son Robert “Bob” McKey (Hazel) of Ramona, CA; her daughters Sherron Berg (Andy) of Atlanta, GA, Cathy Johnson (Gary) of Jacksonville, FL and Wendi Kelley (Ken) of Jacksonville, FL; grandchildren Heather Hogan (Nick), Janece McKey, Drew Berg, Allie Berg, Mandy Wise, Megan Clements (John), Charlie Wise, Connor Johnson, Kayla Sullivan (James) and Kaci Kelley; great-grandchildren Wesley Hogan, Vivienne Clements, Jack Clements and Harrison Clements.
