Peggy was of the Baptist faith and a member of Big Springs Baptist Church. She was a Christian and loved the Lord dearly.
Peggy’s greatest joy in life was her family. She married Hugh Boyd Trammell on May 1, 1970, and together they raised five children: Rick, Stan, Travis, Tara and Layne. Her main focus in life was being the best mother she could be and always putting her children first. Later, her main focus in life became her grandchildren: Brenton, Tanner, McKenna and Tenley. She devoted her time to being involved in all of their sports and activities. She was the best Nana to her grandchildren and put them above all.
Hugh and Peggy owned and operated ‘Timbo Trading Post’ from 1974 until 1979 when Peggy was elected as the Stone County Treasurer where she served two terms. In 1983, she became a homemaker to be at home with her children. In 1991, she took a job at Timbo School as a secretary. She worked there for six years until her life suddenly changed and she had to quit to take care of her husband. She was a devoted & caring wife and stood by her husband’s side for almost 5 years throughout his illness. After his passing, she stayed home to help with her grandchildren. Later, she decided to return to work. She was the deputy county clerk in Mountain View for several years. After that, she worked at the Stone County Sheriff’s Department for Sheriff Lance Bonds as his Administrative Secretary. Then, she worked at the Stone County Collector’s Office until 2021 when she decided to retire. In 2023, she chose to return to work at the Sheriff’s Department for Sheriff Brandon Long. She worked there until her passing. She was a devoted worker and took all of her jobs to heart. She truly loved them all.
Peggy also enjoyed talking on the phone, Facebook, walking, mowing, sewing and knitting. She was an amazing seamstress. She was a member of T.O.P.S. where she loved going every Thursday evening but mostly loved the ladies she met with each week. She was an amazing friend to all who knew her.
