Peggy King
October 21, 1943 — June 13, 2012
Peggy Ann King, Age 68 of
Greenbrier, AR, passed away on Wednesday, June 13, 2012, at Baptist
Hospital in Little Rock, AR, with her loving family by her side.
Peggy was born in Greenfield, TN on October 21, 1943 to Macon M.
and Annie Mae (Jenkins) Dinwiddie. She married her precious husband
of 49 years, Bro. Gaylon King, on September 1, 1962, and together
they have one son, Eric Jackson King, age 41, of Conway, AR. Peggy
was a devoted member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Greenbrier, AR
where her husband served as minister for 31 years before retiring
in April. To say she was an outstanding example of a minister's
wife would be an understatement. Peggy loved her Lord, she loved
her family and she loved her church family. Her love and devotion,
shown through her sweet spirit, caring heart and beautiful smile
touched an infinite number of individuals throughout her life. When
she wasn't busy happily attending or planning church activities,
her greatest joys came from spending time with her family,
especially her 2 beautiful granddaughters, and from shopping for
bargains with her special friends.
Peggy is survived by her husband,
Bro. Gaylon King, her son Eric and his wife, Sarah, her
granddaughters, Kallee Taylor King and Chloe Ann King, her sisters
and their spouses, Ilie Sue and Richard Dawson, of Lansing,
MI and Addie Lou and Russell Dawson of Greenfield, TN, her brother
in law and his spouse, Kenneth and Jay King, her sisters in law and
their spouses, Mavis and Ron Smith, Tasha and Dennis Fitzgerald,
and Cherrie and Gary Dawson, several nieces and nephews and their
family members, and a host of special and dear friends.
Peggy is preceded in death by her
father and her mother.
There will be a time of visitation
and remembrance for Peggy on Friday evening, June 15, 2012 from
6-9pm at Immanuel Baptist Church in Greenbrier. Funeral services
will be held Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 11am at Immanuel Baptist
Church, followed by interment at Thorn Cemetery in Greenbrier. The
services will be officiated by Bro. Joe Dickey, Bro. Ed Stephenson,
Bro. Jurl Mitchell, Bro. John Burleson, and Bro. Johnnie Hoffman.
Pallbearers are Roy Montgomery, Greg Montgomery, Travis Weaver,
Lance Reynolds, Rusty Mahan, Jerold Brock, Wayne Coats and Kirby
Coats. Honorary pallbearers are her loving church family and her
wonderful friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family has
requested that donations be made to the Immanuel Baptist Church
children's ministries and the Arkansas Arthritis Foundation.
The family would also like to extend
a special thank you to the doctors and staff of Baptist Hospital in
Little Rock, especially the ICU South and 7th floor
workers, for the care given to Mrs. Peggy and the compassion and
care shown to the family and friends over the past few weeks.
