McCroskey and Annie L. Pardue McCroskey. Peggy graduated from Central High School in Chattanooga, Class of 1956 and thoroughly enjoyed participating in her class reunions. She loved to travel and experience life. As anyone who knows her can tell you, she lived life to the fullest, always looking for the next big adventure. Her unconditional love and positive spirit left an indelible impression on all who encountered her. Peggy had an incredible (and detailed) memory. She could tell you the names, dates, time of day, situation and even what the weather was that day. She had the energy of a person more than half her age. She was spunky, funny, loving, honest and the best friend you could ever have. Although small in stature, she was a grand presence. Strong willed and eternally positive, she was always there to lift you up. She loved spending time with her grand and great-grandchildren and leaves them with warm loving memories of their ‘Nanny”. Peggy was as beautiful inside as she was outside. Peggy was proceeded in death by her husband of 59 years, Dale R. Carter Sr. She leaves behind two children, Penny (Michael) Farbo of Newnan, GA; and Dale (Sherry) R. Carter Jr. of Navarre, FL; and 5 Grandchildren; Michael J. Farbo, Christopher P. Farbo, Angela D. Dill, Danielle M. Langley and Jessica B. Carter. Peggy had 14 Great grandchildren that she adored.
