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 devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother who cherished her family above all else. She found her greatest joy in time spent with 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.
