Peggy Soyars West Thomas of Stuart, VA, and Mt. Airy, NC, died Wednesday, August 14, 2019.
She was born December 5, 1939, in Stuart, VA, to the late Addie Walker Soyars.
In addition to her mother, she was preceded in death by husbands: Edward West and Roy Thomas; one brother, Sam Soyars; and one sister, Marie Soyars.
She was a graduate of Stuart High School and Averett College and was active in Stuart Presbyterian Church.
She worked for years as the Patrick County Registrar and had especially vivid memories of the office’s transition to computer technology.
In addition to the church and her work, she was a lifelong supporter of 4-H and an avid grower, picker, and arranger of flowers.
She was also known amongst her family and friends for baking the best homemade yeast rolls.
One of her goals was to positively affect the life of someone else every day.
