Arnold, Peggy Sue (Chambers) – of Knoxville, born May 23, 1932 to Charlie and Martha Chambers, passed away peacefully at home on August 13, 2014 just in time to celebrate with her son, Bruce, in heaven on his birthday. Peggy was a funny, joyful, down to earth, wise and very giving woman. She was content in the life that God provided for her even when the times were tough and thankful for each day. She played an active role in starting the Halls Toys for Christmas and the building of the Halls Senior Citizens Center.
