Peggy Jo Eads left her earthly cares behind and joyfully leapt into the waiting arms of Jesus and her other loved ones on March 8, 2021. She was 82 years young.
Peggy, affectionately known as Gammy, was born February 16, 1939 to Lloyd Elmer and Sally Pearl (Cline) Johnson in Amarillo, Texas. She attended school in Amarillo and was a star student. She also loved and excelled in sports, especially softball.

Peggy was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great grandmother. Her family was the pride and joy of her life. She supported, encouraged, loved, protected, taught, adored, and bragged on her family and loved each of them fiercely.
Gammy held many interesting jobs and excelled at all of them. She loved to cook and read recipe books. She was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and loved the Lord with all her heart. She studied the scriptures and read them every night to her little dog, Norman.
In 2009 Gammy left warm, sunny Florida and moved to Worland, Wyoming. She lived the rest of her life with her daughter Terisa and son-in-law Jay. She was a true blessing to all who knew her. She always had a smile and hug ready to share with others. She will be deeply missed.
