Peggy Ann Pickett Gardner, 88, of Haymarket, Virginia passed away peacefully in her home, surrounded by her family and beloved dog, Zippy, on the 23rd of April, 2019. Born and raised in Waterfall, Virginia, Peggy grew up surrounded by a loving family in a place of tranquility and joy.
Her lifelong commitment to church began and ends with Antioch Baptist Church, All Day Meetings, church picnics, Sunday School, weddings, funerals…these events created the fabric that has comforted and guided Peggy through the years. And as recent as three weeks ago, Peggy could be seen sitting in the same pew in the church that was her life.
