Peggy meant so much to our Family. She and Mom and myself at times made some memories that will never be forgotten.During Mom's sickness and after we couldn't have made it without her. She and I laughed and cried telling stories of them. The "messes" they got themselves into. I could go on for a while.Mainly I just wanted to say she was an awesome Lady that will never be forgotten in our family. We know she and Mom have been reunited and their looking down on us saying Oh My what's next.
Love to you all,
Cheri

I was saddened to hear of Mrs. Hendrix's passing. I remember both her and Mr. Hendrix, from my early childhood, as we all attended church and school at Our Lady of Fatima. Miss Peggy was always smiling and was a ray of sunshine to all who encountered her. I've moved away from Benton, but got to see her at the donut shop a few times over these latter years; she was always upbeat and positive. What an awesome lady!! I know she's with our Lord now, back with Mr. Putty. We will see her again. My deepest condolences to Tim and all of her family; my thoughts are with you at this difficult time. In His Grasp!!
Praying for comfort at this difficult time. She was a great lady, always friendly and smiling. She will be missed by many.
Dear Peggy, Please keep praying for us so we can meet you again in heaven. We all miss you muchly. Jody Jordan
I am sad that this sweet lady has passed away. Ms.Peggy you were such a good friend to my mother and so many others. In the 10 years since my mother passed away every single time I saw you, you told me how much you missed her. I believe God used you as a special vessel to show love and to encourage others in a very special way. I most surely will miss your sweet kind and giving ways, but I also will miss the joy you had for life and the laughter we shared. Love you much!!
Our prayers are with the family. Peggy was such a sweet lady, I don't ever remember seeing her without a smile on her face.
Heavens gain is our loss.
It was a great shock to find out that you are gone. You will be greatly missed. You always had a smile on your face . I know that you are with the Lord in heaven. Say a prayer for me every now and then.
I have known you for many years and consider you a dear friend. I know that we have not been as close as we once were but you are always in my heart.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Ms. Peggy will certainly be missed. She always had a smile on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Tim, Bridgett and Family,
My thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family.
Your mom and dad are a special part of my childhood memories, they were so nice to our family, I always remember coming in from school on Fridays to find our weekly groceries delivered by your mom, just one of the special memories of your family.
May your many special memories give you peace and comfort in the coming days.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you
Peggy and Puddy Hendrix was a place of safety when things were tough at home. Peggy was joy and laughter, acceptance, and a her presence was a place where everybody was somebody. Bridget and Tim, you shared your parents with probably hundreds of other Bauxite students who loved and respected your parents. Thank you for sharing, because I'm sure that they affected the lives of so very many fin their lifetimes. My thoughts, prayers, and tears are with you Bridget, Tim, and family. I am only one of many who will miss Peggy's beautiful laughter, and her love-filled hugs. God bless you all.
