Peggy Holland Johnson was born on December 27, 1931, in Dallas Texas, the eldest daughter of the late Auby and Jesse Taylor. In her 93rd year, she passed away peacefully on the morning of February 20, 2025.
A longtime resident of Farmersville, Texas and active member of the Church of Christ, Peggy was a devoted servant of God who was selfless in her dedication to helping others. When she was physically able, she cooked and delivered food and provided comfort to anyone in need.
Along with being the Matriarch of her family, Peggy’s employment history also reflected her desire to help others. She was a long-time employee of the Job Corps center in Mckinney, Texas before transitioning to Collin County CSCD, retiring after serving there for 14 years. Lastly, she was a clerk at Dyer Drugs in Farmersville, working well into her 80’s because she refused to be idle while she could still contribute.
