Peggy was a member of Lebanon United Methodist Church. She enjoyed square dancing, card games with friends, traveling, eating with her Allen Jay Group and those sleepovers with her grandchildren.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Paul Stanton Davis; two sisters, Betty Morgan and Barbara “Bobbie” Scruggs; and brother, Joseph Carroll Redding.

Peggy is survived by her son, Perry S. Davis (Joy) of High Point; two grandchildren, Madison Davis (Conner Champlin) of Kernersville and Jonathan Davis of High Point; and several nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.
