Peggy Jeanette Moore

Peggy Jeanette (Wright) Moore spent her time on earth loving and serving the Lord and looking forward to the day she would be with Him. All her wishes came true when she entered her Heavenly home on her 91st birthday, May 25, 2026.

Peggy was born on May 25, 1935 in Mexia, Texas to Edgar T. and Belle Zora Matilda (Johnson) Wright, where she remained her entire life.

Peggy worked for the Mexia State Supported Living Center in the Administration office, retiring after 25 years of service.

Peggy loved her family and cherished her time with all of them. She liked to cook for family gatherings almost as much as everyone enjoyed eating it; she was a very good cook. Whenever the sisters could find time to get together for a visit, there was always good food and plenty of stories to tell; a fun time had by all.

Peggy was a member of the First Baptist Church in Mexia where she spent years of service as a WMU director. She loved the Lord and was a strong witness until the end. She also enjoyed quilting, sewing, and simply sitting on the back porch drinking coffee while admiring her flower beds and pecan trees.
