Peggy Vinson Biggers was a cherished mother, grandmother, friend and grand lady of golf.
Peggy Vinson Biggers was born to Stanley Livingston Vinson Sr. and Bertha Prewitt Vinson. Her twin, Billie Charles, passed away from pneumonia at 18 months. Peggy grew up in Hillsboro. She had two older brothers, Stanley L. Vinson Jr., now deceased, and Murray Vinson. Both were dashing naval officers whom she adored. Peggy lost her father when she was 12. After her father's death, her mother bought an old mansion in Hillsboro and turned it into a boardinghouse with a dining room that became famous for its great food. People lined up around the block daily to eat for 50 cents. Peggy loved helping her mother in the boardinghouse and many great times were shared there with her friends. She was a majorette in the Hillsboro High School Band. She earned an associate's degree from Hillsboro Junior College.
After graduating, Peggy moved to Dallas and became an airline stewardess with Pioneer Airlines. She met her soulmate, Robert Bruce "Pat" Biggers, in 1953 on a blind date. Three weeks later, Pat and Peggy married Feb. 27, 1953, and began their lives in Fort Worth, which began a love story that extended beyond his death in 1986. They had two daughters, Moiri Rose and Patricia Ann Biggers. A happy family, there was always a lot of fun, love and laughter in the Biggers household.
In the early 1960s, tired of being left at home while their husbands played golf, she and several friends decided to take a few golf lessons at Glen Garden Country Club. From that moment on, golf became a passion for the rest of her life. The "golf girls" have shared so much fun and laughter over the last 40 or so years. Peggy served as the president of the Ladies Golf Association at Ridglea Country Club in 1987. She was one of the original creators of the "Golf Bag Classic" ladies' tournament that just celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2006. She was also the proud producer of four holes-in-one during her golfing days at Ridglea Country Club and Sonterra Country Club in San Antonio, where she also served as president of the Ladies Golf Association.
A friend in need was always a friend indeed to Peggy. She loved taking care of her family and friends. There was never a need too large or small that Peggy wouldn't take on for a loved one. People were drawn to her vivacious personality, her tinkling laughter and her energy for life. She loved to be on the go and traveled all over the world. Like Peter Pan's Tinkerbell, she was a constant ball of motion. When her illness caused her light to begin to fade, even though all of the hundreds of lives she touched clapped and cheered, we couldn't keep it from flickering out. However, her beautiful memory will burn brightly forever.
