Peggy graduated from Anson High School in May of 1960. She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University in 1963. While in college, she met Douglas Beggs and they were married on January 24, 1963. She worked as a school teacher until Michael, their first child, was born. They moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where Douglas attended Southwestern Seminary. After he graduated, they ministered in churches in Troy, Midland, Bishop, Mesquite, and Desoto, all in Texas. They then moved to Germantown, Tennessee, in 1982, where she was active in Germantown Baptist Church’s music ministry and missions. In 1997, they relocated to the Atlanta area where she was an active participant in the mission ministry and the music department of First Redeemer. When her husband retired in 2008, they moved back to the Memphis area to be close to their family. They became members of Longview Heights Baptist Church, where she was active in several international mission trips, as well as other ministry opportunities. She enjoyed traveling and cruising with Doug to many beautiful places. But even more than that, her favorite thing was spending time with her family. She is preceded in death by her parents, Hub M. and Lucy Holland, and her sister Nancy Holland. She is survived by her husband, Douglas C. Beggs, after 57 and 1/2 years of marriage. She is also survived by three married children, Michael Beggs (Melisa), Melissa Peterson (William), and Melinda Isbell (Brian). There are eight grandchildren; Kaitlyn Holbrook (Tyler), Bonnie Taylor (Will), Ashlyn Sims (Tyler), Samantha Isbell, Blake Peterson, Sydney Isbell, Bridgette Peterson, and Zane Isbell. In addition, there are three great-grandsons; Hawkins Holbrook, Hughes Holbrook, and Liam Taylor. Online condolences may be left on her Tribute Wall at www.colemanfuneralhome.com.
