In Memoriam: Peggy Ann O’Hara Yates Perdue (May 26, 1940 – Jan. 9, 2024)

Peggy Perdue went to be with Jesus on Jan. 9, 2024 at the age of 83.

She was born on May 26, 1940 to Bert and Kitty O’Hara. Soon after her birth, her father passed away, but at the age of eight she was blessed with a new father in Marcus Yates who adopted her and her brother Harry after his marriage to Kitty on Oct. 2, 1948.

She married her love, Troy Wayne Perdue, on April 26, 1958 in Las Vegas, Nevada and proceeded to have four wonderful children. Peggy loved to sew, knit, crochet and spend time with her children and grandchildren. She was a phenomenal cosmetologist and instructor in her field.

Peggy is survived by her husband of 65 years, Troy Perdue; her four children, Christi Tucker (Terry), Randy Perdue (Kellie), Kevin Perdue (Deborah) and Vicki Morris (Mark); along with 15 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren and her beloved pets Rowdy, Ruffy, and Sven.

Services were held at Silverton Assembly of God Church on Jan, 19, 2024. Internment at Willamette National Cemetery will be held at a later date.

Peggy loved her family with such unconditional love and will be remembered for her generosity, laughter and most of all her love for family and friends alike. She touched a great many lives and will be greatly missed.
