Eskew, Peggy Woodward

Peggy Eskew (January 20, 1954 – June 03, 2026) was a beloved daughter of Eva Lamb Woodward and James William Woodward.

She is survived by her devoted husband Joe Crawford Eskew Jr., son and daughter in-law, B.J. and Mandy Eskew, daughter and son in-law, Jennifer and Don Overton, Jill and Gerald Wingfield, Julie and P.C. Wells, Sasha and Craig Simpkins. Peggy was Mawmaw to Triston Overton, Autumn Wingfield (Ethan), Brady Wells, Lettie, Everett, and Beckett Simpkins, Harper, Maggie, and Owen Eskew, and great grand-son Tayton Rigdon. She is together again in eternal peace with her beloved son Christopher Eskew. Peggy leaves behind 7 of 9 siblings, alongside a host of nieces and nephews.

Peggy dedicated her life to her family as a devoted homemaker. She was a remarkable gardener who found joy in her many flowers. A gifted cook, Peggy expressed her love through homecooked meals with family gathered around the table. Above all her greatest joys were her children, grandchildren, and the life she built with her loving husband, Joe.

A woman of great faith, Peggy loved the Lord and was committed to her church family at Abundant Life Fellowship. Know for her vibrant personality and sharp sense of humor, she always kept her family and friends laughing. Her smile could light up a room and will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

We are incredibly grateful to the compassionate staff at Sheila S. Strauss Hospice House and the dedicated family members who lovingly assisted with Peggy’s care.
