Peggy was born in Kings Mountain, NC to William Ralph and Margaret Wren

Craig. She is survived by her sister Nancy Craig Ryan. She was mother to Meg

Davenport (Kenny), Patrick Bryant (Shelle), and Sheffy Bryant (Patty). She was a

proud grandmother to Parker and Lilli Davenport; Will, Henry and Esther Wren

Bryant; Amanda Vazquez, Melina Sanders (Tyler), and Shelby Bryant; Karly and

Sunny Davenport, and great grandchildren Aspen Vazquez, Easton Sanders,

Daniel, Bailey and Carter Davenport.

Peggy graduated from Decatur High School and attended Wesleyan College

where she was a member of the Wesleyan Golden Hearts, Class of 63. She

received a Masters in Christian Education from the Candler School of Theology

at Emory University. Peggy was an active member of the United Methodist

Church of Chamblee where she was involved in many activities, including singing

in the Chamber and Ladies Choirs and serving as the Director of Christian

Education. After moving to Cumming she taught Special Education at Forsyth

Central High School for 18 years, and served as a substitute teacher until she

was no longer able due to her illness. In her later years, she joined the Episcopal

Church of the Holy Spirit where she was equally involved serving as a member of

the Vestry, a mentor in the EFM program, and a member of the choir. Peggy

remained active until her diagnosis, swimming nearly every day at the Cumming

Aquatic Center where she made many lasting friendships.

Peggy had a song for every situation and delighted children and grandchildren

alike with stories and sayings. She leaves behind family and friends who love her

and whose lives are the richer for knowing her. In lieu of flowers, please

Church of the Holy Spirit.
