Peggy Smith, 65, of Chattanooga, passed away Saturday, November 11, 2023, in a local hospital.
She was born February 1, 1958, in Savannah, Georgia, to loving parents Herbert Smith, Sr. and Barbara (Faunce) Smith. Peggy was the second of five children in a family who lived a military life, moving between states and countries as their father fulfilled the expectations placed upon a Chief Master Sergeant in the US Air Force. Peggy was a graduate of Maryville College. She worked as a microbiologist before taking on her life’s work, raising her two daughters. Peggy will be remembered in her community as a selfless, altruistic woman who gave of herself graciously to the benefit of others. She never turned a neighbor in need away. Peggy also loved spending time at the ocean and was an avid watcher of rocket launches and turtle hatchings on the Florida beaches. One of her most recent joys was volunteering at her grandson’s school, Chattanooga School for the Arts and Sciences. CSAS always had a special place in Peggy’s heart, as both her daughters were K-12 graduates of the school.
Peggy was preceded in death by her father, Herbert Smith, Sr.; and her sister, Debra Smith Johnson.
She is survived by her daughters, Megan Beatrice and Heather Beatrice Pogue; her mother, Barbara Smith; and stepfather, Glenn Gordon; her grandson, August Wooten; and siblings, Sandra Miller, Herbert Smith Jr., and Michael Smith.
