Peggy grew up and played and did regular childhood stuff like making mud pies and dressing paper dolls, growing up she learned to cook and was very good at it, she loved to dance, she was a unique person in her own way, her personality was one that could find humor in most anything, she was special, she liked to dress differently and had her own fashion line.
She became a member of St. James Missionary Baptist Church as a teenager. After being grown she tried to take care of everybody, especially her family.
She was known for dressing up as a clown at children’s parties; she would often make freeze cups to sell at parties. Peggy loved children, she loved scary movies, she could go fishing and stay all day, she loved birds, and she was the kind of person that people in the community could rely on. She was a very sociable person, even when she was in the nursing home she always asked about everybody in Obion.
She leaves forever to cherish her memory, two children, Alonza Braxton (Brad) Smith Jr. and Latawsha Brown; three grandchildren, J’nara Davis and Spencer Davis of Elkhart, Ind., Alonza Braxton Smith III of Gadsden Ala.; one great-grandchild, Elishia; a sister, Willie Mae Smith of Elkhart; and a special friend, Sandra Foggy.
