Lewis County Herald - Serving Hohenwald, Lewis County Tennessee Since 1898

Peggy Faye Bartlett Mayberry, age 84, passed this life on January 24, 2021, surrounded by family at her home in Centerville.

She was born on July 15, 1936 in the community of Providence in Lewis County. Her battle with serious health issues in recent years demonstrated her courage in facing life challenges with uncommon grace.

Her life revolved around family, faith, and home. She and her husband, Billy, recently celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. Together, they lovingly raised six children and found joy in their grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her family will always remember her love, compassion, and strength of spirit. "Her children will rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her." (Proverbs 31:28)

She was an avid reader, an accomplished cook, and a friend to animals. She was a graduate of Lewis County High School and worked for many years as a bank teller at the First National Banks in Manchester and Centerville. She was a member of the Twomey Church of Christ.

She is survived by her husband, Billy Ray Mayberry, and her children, Michele Shields of Manchester, Lisa (John) Wright of Tullahoma, Teresa (Barry) Rhoads of Hillsboro, Jonathan (Jennifer) Mayberry of Centerville, Heather (Carey) Laster of Auburn, Alabama, and Matthew (Kari) Mayberry of Centerville; 13 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Thelma Brewer Ringenberg; father, Flavil Hall Bartlett; her beloved grandparents, Steve and Lillie Brewer; and a grandchild, Benjamin Rhoads.

Graveside service was held Tuesday, January 26 at 1:30 p.m. at Wade-Peeler Cemetery in Hickman County.
