She was born Feb. 7, 1941, in Lexington to Kathleen Whitmore and Giles Samuel McKemy.

A graduate of Lexington High School; she received the citizenship award from the local chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Most of her professional career was spent with Rockbridge Area Social Services, working from 1965 until her retirement in 2003.

More importantly, she will be remembered as a beloved wife, Mom, Granni, Great-Granni, and Best Buddy.

Those that knew Peggy and traveled life’s journey with her have fuller hearts having experienced her smile and sense of whimsy.

She told us often that she loved us … We responded with we love you more … We say and we know that you (Peggy) loved us BEST.

We will miss you … Be at peace.

Peggy is survived by her two children, their respective families, and many friends.

Graveside interment will be held Thursday, July 6, at 10 a.m. in Rockbridge Memorial Gardens. A celebration of life will immediately follow at Glen Maury Park. NG
