Peggy was a member of St. Luke’s United Methodist Church and a graduate of Central High School, Class of 1950.

She was preceded in death by her parents: Orville and Christine Burnette; her husband, Jim; and brother, Toby.

Nana so cherished her precious grandchildren: Todd and Tonya, Shane and Melissa, Scott, Kristi, Neylan, Jerrica, and Daylan along with eight great-grandchildren. She leaves a special brother-in-law Al Bright of Michigan, and several sisters-in-law, who she considered her own family along with her nephew Jackie Burnette of Lenoir City and several others special nieces and nephews, and several close friends. Our family would like to thank her dear neighbor Janice for all the love and care she gave her when needed. Her grandsons Todd, Shane, Scott, Neylan, Daylan, Justin, Austin, and Tyson will serve as pallbearers.
