Peggy Padgett Allison
June 18, 1929 - September 10, 2021

Graveside services for Peggy Padgett Allison were held on Tuesday, September 14, 2021, at 2:00 p.m. at Greenwood Cemetery in Teague. Bro. Scott Matthews will officiate.

Peggy Padgett Allison moved to her Heavenly Home early Friday morning, September 10, 2021.

She was preceded in death by her parents, John Wesley and Cecil Padgett of Teague, TX; husband, Paul Ray Allison; daughter, Cheryl Cunningham (“CC”); and son, Paul Ray, Jr.  Peggy was joyfully greeted by her Savior and LORD as well as her beloved family and friends awaiting her arrival.

Peggy never “worked” outside her home but she contributed countless hours as a volunteer for the San Jacinto Girl Scouts Council for well over 60 years. She also volunteered at South Main Baptist Church in several areas up to and including her 92nd year of life.
From her youth, Peggy enjoyed singing, playing the piano, telling jokes and stories. After marrying, she and Paul Ray (PR) traveled extensively through the US as well as Canada, Europe, and Africa. She never met a stranger and would strike up a conversation with anyone in her vicinity. 

She is survived by her daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Rick Rankin of Teague; grandson, Aron Haire and wife Kate of Montana; grandson, Seth Rankin of Pasadena; granddaughter, Taylor Perrella and husband Kyle (transitioning from NY to TX), and one beloved and adored great-granddaughter, Lola Haire.

Peggy also has many other relatives and friends, too numerous to name but each one loved and cherished as only she could.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to the San Jacinto Girl Scouts online at www.gssjc.org or the Blanket Ministry at South Main Baptist Church, 4300 East Sam Houston Pkwy S., Pasadena, TX 77505.

A Celebration of Life service was held at South Main Baptist Church in Pasadena at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, September 18, 2021.
