Peggy was born on April 15, 1951, in Richmond County, to the late Grover Lee Mills and Grace Miller Johnson.

She found joy in the simple pleasures of life, especially playing Bingo, a game she loved and had a natural knack for. Whether she won or not, she was always content just to be there, enjoying the moment. Peggy was deeply loved and respected for her honesty, wisdom, and unique perspective on life. Above all else, her heart belonged to her family, and she cherished every moment spent with her children and grandchildren, holding those memories close as her greatest treasure. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, grandmother, great grandmother, and aunt with a big heart for those close to her.

Along with her parents, she is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dewey Lee Oxendine Jr; four brothers, Ronnie Mills, Paul Mills, Buddy Mills, and Junior Horn; and one sister, Shirley Crisp.

Left to cherish her memory are her four children, Patricia Garris (Timmy), of Woodleaf, Kathy Wright, of Lexington, Danny Ray Locklear, of Lexington, and William “Husky” Oxendine, of Lexington; one brother, Jerry Mills, of Lexington; one sister, Brenda Lampley, of Lexington; six grandchildren, Brian Garris, Brandon Wright, Rebecca Ferron, Taylor Locklear, Dennis Ray Locklear, and Maggie Oxendine; and six great grandchildren, Colby, Zayden, Braylen, Jaycen, Charlee, and Hallie.
