Margaret "Peggy" Smith

July 21, 1932 - April 29, 2022

Margaret “Peggy” Smith died from various health issues at her home on the morning of April 29, 2022, with her loving, caring husband of more than seventy years holding one hand and her daughter and son holding the other one. She was born on July 21, 1932, in New Brighton, Pennsylvania to Earl and Inez Smith. She was preceded by her parents, brother, Eugene Smith, and great grandson Tatum Caubble. Peggy is survived by her husband, best friend and soulmate Bob (Robert E.) Smith whom she was married to for seventy years and nine months, daughter Susie Haynes (Ducote), son Zeke (Terry) Smith (Cindy), brother Gary L. Smith, uncle Bill Ifft, grandchildren Whitney Caubble (Brad), Christa Hess (Rodney) and Bobby Palmer (Nalanna), thirteen great grandchildren, one great-great grandson, many nieces, nephews, family and friends. Putting her husband, children, and grandchildren before herself, Peggy was the glue that held her family together. She was a kind and loving Mother and Grandmother who could be a Mama Bear if she felt her children or grandchildren were in danger or ‘done wrong’. Peggy had many friends with whom she travelled, cooked, and entertained. She considered and loved each like family. The Smith family is so grateful for Peggy’s wonderful, loving caregivers Patricia, Alice and Penny who treated her like she was a member of their families. Their care allowed her to stay in her home. Additionally, the outstanding, caring staff, Deanna, Jackie, Liz, Judy, Adam, John, Dr. Trent Beaton, and many others at Kindred Care Hospice, made Peggy’s last journey comfortable and in the familiar surroundings of home. All these individuals are truly angels, and each has a special place in our hearts. Peggy’s love and smile will be greatly missed by many. Her joy and caring will live on in our memories. On Monday, May 2, 2022, a family burial will be held at Cogbill Cemetery with a celebration of Peggy’s life to follow at 10:30 am at Wynne Presbyterian Church officiated by Rev. Dr. Susan Arnold. If considering a memorial gift or donation, in lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate gifts to Wynne Presbyterian Church, 1735 Poplar, Wynne, AR 72396, or a charity/organization of the donor’s choice.
