Peggy Hall Harton 8/11/1928 -5/16/2007
Last night we said goodbye to our mother, grandmother (MiMi), wife, mother-in-law, aunt, and friend. We loved Peggy Harton. She was a self-less human being and a loving Christian woman who always wanted to be doing something for someone else.
She was a friend to all who knew her. She loved and accepted
everyone into her heart and circle of family and friends. She was
talented and artistic. She loved creating beautiful, unique, handmade
treasures for her loved ones.
She was a teacher of school children. She always wanted to be fair
to children she taught and to treat them equally. She also loved
teaching her grandchildren and spending time with them. Her home was
always open to her family and friends. MiMi always had a spare moment
to offer assistance.
She lives forever in all of us, for each time we do a simple or not
so simple act of kindness, we celebrate a little of Peggy Harton and
pass along a little of this precious person to someone else.
We are blessed to have known her and to have been mothered by such
a lovely person. We shall miss her greatly, but we are comforted that
she was at peace and ready to take the next journey with Christ.
