Peggy J. Wilkerson, 81, of Petal passed away on February 9, 2021 at her home. A private family service will be held at Biloxi National Cemetery.
Mrs. Wilkerson was most happy when she was with her family, whether ocean fishing, goose hunting, watching birds of all kinds, or shopping with her girls. She loved to travel and meet new people. She was a proud Air Force wife for twenty-four years. It was her way of serving her country. She also enjoyed many hours on her computer, working with paint shop pro groups. Obtaining her Beauticians license was one of her proudest moments.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Albert Theodore Ash, Sr., and Madge Ash; her brother, Albert Theodore Ash, Jr; her grandparents, Ethel "Mimmie" Fuqua, Albert Moore Ash and, Burt and Icena Belle Dees; and numerous aunts, uncles, nieces, and nephews.
She is survived by her husband, Lawrence F. "Fred" Wilkerson of Petal; her two daughters, Barbara Odden (Greg) of Rugby, ND, and Janet Hanna (Mack) of Lake City, SC; five grandchildren, Chris Upton (Becky) of SC, Dustin Odden (Heidi) of WI, Josh Odden (Gloria) of ND, Chance McKenzie (Michaela) of SC, and John Pollard (Angel) of SC; twelve great grandchildren; and her sister-in-law, Pauline Ash.
Due to current cemetery regulations, the family ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Heritage United Methodist Church at 3 Baracuda Dr. Hattiesburg, MS 39402.
