TRINITY – Peggy Ann Barnhart Collins, 73, died Monday, January 6, 2020, at her residence.

She was born June 3, 1946, in High Point and was the daughter of the late Wade Preston and Lessie Powell Barnhart.

Peggy was a faithful and devoted Christian her entire life and was amember of Community Evangelical Methodist Church on Joe Moore Road where she served in many capacities. She was a gifted pianist and that God-given ability was utilized for the congregation for a myriad of years. She also served as the church’s treasurer and various boards for many, many years.
