Peggy Herring

Peggy Herring of Oklahoma City was born on November 30, 1927 to U.S. and Frances Conner. She passed peacefully in her sleep on June 3rd. Peggy, who lost her husband Gene in 2012, is survived by her 3 children Jean Anne Jacobsen of Bradenton, FL, Bryce Herring of OKC, and Scott Herring of Redondo Beach, CA; Jean’s husband George; Scott’s wife Kathryn; and her 2 cherished grandchildren Slater and Carissa Herring of Redondo Beach. She was the youngest of 3 children. She is at peace joining her brother, Big Sis, and beloved husband in heaven.

Peggy was the heart of our home and family, and she will be dearly missed. She was married for 62 years to her soulmate, Gene, who preceded her in death. Peggy was active in her church and sang in the choir for over 50 years. As a grandmother to Slater (16) and Carissa (13), she was as sweet as pie, remembered for her Easter decorations, chicken & noodles, and “pink cookies.” 

A private service will be held to rejoin Peggy and Gene’s spirits at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions be made to Chapel Hill United Methodist Church or a charity of your choice, in the name of W. Eugene and Peggy Herring.
