Peggy Ruth Carter, 91, of Pampa died Sunday, March 29, 2020 in Pampa.

Memorial services will be held after the Coronavirus crisis is resolved.

Cremation and Arrangements are under the direction Robertson Funeral Directors of Clarendon.

Peggy was born July 1, 1928, in Mobeetie to E.R. and Ruth Clark Ware. Peggy went to school at Mobeetie and later to Cosmetology School in Amarillo. Peggy married Carl Carter in Pampa in 1948. They were married 67 years when Carl passed away and Peggy went to live with her daughter Lynna Crockett in Shamrock.

Peggy took her job as a homemaker seriously. She made a home for Carl and her children wherever they lived and her family was her priority. She loved her friends and family with a passion and always stood ready to help them when she could. She ran the Clarendon College cafeteria for sixteen years in Clarendon, Texas and loved the many kids who came through the lines in the cafeteria.

Peggy was raised a farm girl and loved the land and the rural life. She had a wonderful sense of humor and a positive outlook on life. She was resilient and taught by example how to deal with life’s ups and downs without letting life make you bitter and defeated. She will truly be missed.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband Carl; daughter Diane; and son Wayne.

She is survived by her sisters, Kitty Nincehelser of Ft. Smith, Arkansas, Virginia Holwick and husband Bob of McLean, Texas; her son, Steve Carter and wife Tammy of McLean, Texas; her daughter, Lynna Crockett and husband Bill of Shamrock, Texas; six grandchildren; and fifteen great-grandchildren.
