Peggy Louise Baldwin Allums McWherter

September 2,1941 - November 1,2026

Peggy was born 85 years ago to Louis and Geneva Baldwin in Monroe.LA. She was raised in the Methvin , Womack and Martin communities, where she loved spending her time with family. She has always thrived being outdoors where there was nothing she couldn't do. Through all the hard times raising her 5 children, and there were many, she always found a way to provide. Peggy could process game, catch and clean fish, as well as grow her own fruits and vegetables. Once the freezer was full and the canning complete, she was her happiest feeding the masses. Peggy never met a stranger and she would give them the shirt off her back and make sure they had a full belly before leaving. Once her kids were grown, She relocated from Haughton to Peggy's Landing on Lake Bistineau where she owned a bait stand and grill , this is where she found her true home. She loved the lake, the people, the gossip of a small town, and even the floods, which just brought more people to talk to and boy could she talk. To know Peggy is to have a wild story, a good laugh, and a heart full of love. She was the epitome of love thy neighbor. She never cared who you were, where you came from,or how you looked; Peggy was there to help in any way she could and always make sure you were fed. Peggy had a voice that could fill rooms, an infectious laugh, and a joy for life. Her heart was full when surrounded by family and friends, she loved unconditionally and celebrated them without limit. In her later years, you could catch tears in her eyes as she described the pride for her children, grandchildren, and great grand children. She was loved and will be missed beyond words; however, Peggy will live on in the lives she touched and the hearts of all those lucky enough to know that her kind of crazy was the best kind.
