Peggy Anne Powell, born on November 11, 1943, in The Plains, Virginia, passed away peacefully at the age of 82 on April 12, 2026, in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Peggy was a dedicated accountant whose career was marked by precision and a genuine love for helping others. Her passion for numbers was only surpassed by her love for her family. Above all else, she cherished her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and her beloved dogs. She possessed incredible strength, a realistic outlook on life, and an inspirational spirit that touched all who knew her. Her daughter Brenda followed in her footsteps, pursuing a career in accounting inspired by her mother’s dedication and skill.

In her younger years, Peggy enjoyed playing tennis, a testament to her active and vibrant nature. She was an avid reader, finding solace and joy in the pages of books throughout her life. Upon retiring, she found fulfillment in volunteering, particularly with AARP, where she assisted people with filing their taxes. Peggy also enjoyed volunteering with children, spreading kindness and support wherever she went. Attending Lake of the Woods Community board meetings became a cherished outing during her retirement years.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Mae (nee: Comer) Moore. She is survived by her loving daughters, Brenda Ward and Angela Blake; her adoring granddaughter, Jessica Bianchi, and her husband Kevin; as well as her treasured great-grandchildren, Grayson, Brooks, and Elena Bianchi.
