Peggy Sue Lawrence Heer, 78, of Maumelle, Arkansas, went to be with the Lord on May 18, 2018. She was born September 26, 1939 in Kansas City, Kansas. She graduated from William Chrisman High School in Independence, Missouri and was married to John Richard Heer, Sr. for more than 62 years.
Peggy began her working career as the church secretary at the Balmoral Presbyterian Church in Memphis, Tennessee, where she served as a church Deacon. She later had a successful career in medical staff credentialing, which she enjoyed for nearly 20 years at Bates Memorial Hospital and later St. Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Arkansas.

My deepest sympathy for the family in your loss. I noticed she wasn’t sitting in the garage some time back and wondered if she was ill. But then after only seeing Mr. Heer for days watching traffic, I assumed she had passed away. I will miss my neighbors and waving to them as I pass their home. God bless and keep you.

Dearest John, Pollyanna & family,
So saddened to hear of your precious mother.
Your Mother's Christian legacy through her walk
of faith that does more than point us back to a
wonderful life remembered~it also points us
forward in hope to an amazing celebration
that is to come.
Praying that God will give you comfort for your
sorrows today, hope for what is to come, and
the assurance of HIS presence with you always.
In Christian Love and Sympathy,
Much Love to the family on the loss of your
Mother. I know you will miss her.
Jennie and Al

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at John 5:28,29 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice, and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment".
