Peggy Sue Jones, aged 68, transitioned from this earthly realm on Monday, November 13, 2023, at Moses Cone Hospital. Her luminous spirit graced this world on March 13, 1955, in Ohio, born to the loving embrace of Leonard Marcum and guided by the radiant memory of her late mother, Patsy L. Cotter. A luminary of resilience and enterprise, Peggy embarked on life's journey, a graduate in high school who also pursued the artistry of cosmetology. She wove the fabric of her days as a serial entrepreneur, painting her canvas with the vibrant hues of her passions. Her soul danced in the joy of familial bonds and cherished friendships, finding solace in the embrace of loved ones. Peggy's heart found its melody in travel's wanderlust, the rhythmic hum of a sewing needle, the alchemy of culinary artistry, the adornment of jewels, the creation of welcoming sanctuaries, and the quiet wisdom found between the pages of books. A seeker of spiritual truths, Peggy's essence resonated with a profound understanding of Love as her guiding creed. She illuminated conversations with spiritual grace, gently fostering enlightenment in those around her. In a testament to love's enduring strength, Peggy and Sidney joined hands in marriage on June 30, 1973, in Maine, just six years following the federal recognition of interracial unions. Their union braved adversity, standing tall for five remarkable decades, a beacon of unwavering devotion, urging others to embrace love's boundless resilience across all barriers. Peggy's love was boundless, a magnetic force drawing countless hearts towards her warmth. She wove a tapestry of kinship, transforming friends into family. Her capacity for forgiveness and love transcended language, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her. Her love extended abundantly to her seven cherished grandchildren, each one a testament to her boundless affection. She embodied fierceness in the face of adversity, infusing every moment with artistic expression, intelligence, and a playful, resilient spirit. Peggy is survived by her beloved husband of five decades, the esteemed Mr. Sidney Vincent Jones. Their legacy continues through their three devoted children and their spouses: Minden and James Barrile, Holly and James Moran, and Adam and Beth Jones. Her luminosity shines through her seven grandchildren: Atman Barrile, Anthony Moran, Levi Moran, Joshua Moran, Elijah Jones, Emily Jones, and Evelyn Jones. In her transition, Peggy joins her mother, Patsy L. Cotter, preceded by her sister Ethel Penney and brother Jimmy Adkins. May Peggy Sue Jones's celestial essence continue to guide and inspire us, her love forever etched in the tapestry of our hearts.Show more
