She was also preceded in death by her husband Charles (Chuck) Datres and beloved cat Socks. Peggy worked for many years in Food Sales at Suzannah’s Kitchen, before retiring in 2016. She was a world traveler who always had the next trip planned with Chuck, friends, or family. She was an avid Georgia Bulldog fan and spent many weekends in Athens as a season ticket holder. GO DAWGS! She was known as Mimi to her grandkids and loved her family and friends dearly. She always cared more for others and made sure no one ever worried about her, even through her cancer journey. She regularly attended Woodstock City Church in Woodstock, GA. Being the giver that she is, Christmas was her favorite holiday and “Mimi” would FILL UP the home with love, Christmas spirit, and oh my goodness THE GIFTS! Everyone felt so loved. Peggy is survived by her three daughters, Christi Massey (Greg) of Tifton GA, Lesli Rowe of Waleska GA, and Dusti Prisock (Stephen) of Canton GA; Brother Wally Swilley (Nikki) of Camilla GA; 3 grandchildren Josh Jordan (Jordan), Lauren Prisock and Owen Prisock; Nieces and Nephews Magan Gilliam (Jonathan), Cade Swilley, and Addington Gilliam; Family Friend Janet Adams of Pelham GA; and many other close friends and family.
