He had many interests in life but perhaps above everything he loved his family. He loved his children but his grandchildren held a special place in his heart and he cherished the time he spent with them. More than anything though he loved his wife. After nearly 60 years of marriage his wife Margaret went ahead of him to fix up their eternal home in heaven and a mere 6 weeks later he couldn't stand to be apart any longer and passed through the gates of heaven to rejoin her.

He is survived by children: Julie Barbaree (David) and Robbie Davis (Norma); grandchildren: Seth Barbaree (Mandy), Michael Sneed (Amber), Audra Barbaree, Jeremy Sneed, Blake James, Adriane Richards (Brandan), Robbie Davis Jr., Chesley Rodriguez (Vynn), Austin Turner and Adam Sneed (Kelly); 12 great-grandchildren; brothers: Coley Davis (Mary), Alfred Davis (Rita); sister, Flora Harrell; along with numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and other family members.

Left to try and navigate life without her:

Brother: Teddy Lauderdale; Children: Beverly (Ken) Faircloth, Johnny Stephens, Carol Meeks (Frankie Barbarow); Grandchildren: Joanna (David) Johnston, Audrey (Doug) Price, Chip Faircloth (Abby McCombs), JJ Stephens, Matt (Hannah) Stephens, Gauge Ballard, Taylor (Stephanie) Ballard, Sydney Ballard, and Stephen Meeks (Lexie McLendon); Great Grandchildren: Olivia Johnston, Dean Johnston, River Johnston, Zavier Johnston, Liam Ballard, Talan Baxley, Kellan Whitehead-Ballard, Alexis Wright, and Matthew Jacob "MJ" Stephens; Brother and Sister In Law: Doug (Sara) Stephens, Mike (Patricia) Stephens, Pat (Gene) White, Wanda (Jim) Adams, Bonnie Stephens Griffin and Peggy (Patrick) Nonnemann; as well as many nieces and nephews.

Pallbearers: JJ Stephens, Gauge Ballard, Taylor Ballard, Chip Faircloth, Matt Stephens and Stephen Meeks

When Tommy and Peggy decided to put roots down in Pike County, Peggy decided the love she had in her heart she had to share, and that she did. She went to work taking care of children at Tender Care Nursery for Janice Castleberry. When that daycare closed, she went on to The Gingerbread House (Barbara Nunnelee). She also worked for Kim Sanderlin at that daycare, and it was when that daycare closed Donald and Ann Kelly decided to build a daycare so that Peggy could continue keeping (Chance Kelly, Wendi Williamson and Wesley Grant). She spent most of her life taking care of the children of Pike County and she loved every minute of it. Her children would joke that she had more photo albums of children we didn’t know than of her own. Peggy would leave the childcare business and go on to work for ALDOT where she started as a janitor. She would advance herself by studying and getting her GED to start doing secretarial work at the Highway department where she would go on to retire in 2007. After retirement Peggy would spend lots of days doing what she loved, fishing on the Tallapoosa River. Peggy loved fishing there’s no doubt about that, but the thing Peggy loved more than anything was her relationship with Our Lord and Savior and reading her Bible. Last count was 37 times reading it completely.

Peggy spent all her life caring for others and is loved by so many! She was most concerned about her family and their acceptance of Jesus Christ as their Savior.

Her last words were, “TELL EVERYONE I LOVE THEM AND I WILL SEE THEM IN HEAVEN.”
