Peggy Webb, 91, passed away peacefully at her home in Philadelphia, Mississippi, on October 17th, 2024. She was born on June 25th, 1933. As a child, Peggy lived in various places as her father served as a Church of God pastor, but she eventually made Philadelphia her home after marrying Don Webb from the Dixon Community. Together, they raised three sons—Randy, Dean, and Stan—in a small white house just a few blocks south of the Neshoba County Courthouse.

In addition to being a devoted wife and mother, Peggy, along with Don, shared their home with the community by opening a restaurant called Peggy's. For nearly 40 years, Peggy served the people of Philadelphia and surrounding areas with delicious home-cooked meals, gaining a reputation for her fried chicken, Southern vegetables, and the famous wicker basket where customers made their own change. Peggy's became not just a local favorite but a well-loved spot for out-of-town visitors, creating memories for all who dined there.

Beyond her work at the restaurant, Peggy’s greatest joy was her family. She cherished spending time with her grandchildren, often playing ball with them in the yard and passing down her love for sports. Every day, she looked forward to cooking for her grandchildren and some of her great-grandchildren when they got off the school bus. Nothing gave her more pride than talking about her great-grandchildren, as they were the light of her life.

Peggy Webb leaves behind a legacy of love, community, and home, etched into the hearts of all who knew her.
