Peggy Rose Washington

December 5, 1930 — July 27, 2017

Peggy Rose Washington of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, passed away July 27, 2017. She was born in Healdton, Oklahoma, on Dec. 5, 1930, to Calvin Dennis Scifres and Velva Francis Walk Scifres.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, and husbands Walter Barnett and Richard Dix Washington.

She is survived by her sister, Carol Ann Scifres Keeton, nieces and great nieces and great nephew. She is also survived by Dick’s children Margaret Washington Williams and husband Lee and family and Richard Washington and wife Eileen and family.

Dick and Peggy moved to Marble Falls in 2007 to be closer to his son Richard. They enjoyed many activities over the years. Peggy enjoyed riding around in the spring with Eileen and Keagan to look at the bluebonnets and other wild flowers. After Dick passed away, every Christmas Eve, she would go to Richard and Eileen’s house and watch the grandchildren open presents and eat a big Christmas dinner.

She loved animals and loved when Eileen would bring her Chihuahua “Dot” to visit her. Peggy loved everything to do with the Bible. She did not care what denomination it was; she just enjoyed learning as much as possible. Her other interests included sewing and things to do with finance.

Her wishes were to leave part of her estate to the Highland Lakes Legacy Fund and so in lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to:

Highland Lakes Legacy Fund, 704 2nd Street, Marble Falls, TX 78654

Open Door Recovery, 1107 Hwy 1431, Unit 251, Marble Falls, TX 78654
