MCGEHEE, Deloris (Peggy) May

The Wickenburg Sun, Wickenburg, AZ Wednesday, April 21, 2021 Deloris "Peggy" M McGehee December 15, 1928 - April 17, 2021 Deloris May (Peggy) McGehee, 92, longtime Wickenburg resident, entered into the arms of Jesus on April 17, 2021, in Sun City, Arizona. Mrs. McGehee, known by all of her friends as Peggy, was born December 15th, 1928, in Tacoma, Washington. She moved to Wickenburg in the early 1940's with her parents, Lillian and Harry F. Long. Peggy graduated from Wickenburg High in 1946. Her first job was with the Town of Wickenburg. Peggy met her husband, James (Sam) at a dance in Wickenburg and the rest, they say, is history. Sam and Peggy had a ranching business in addition to building and operating the Sun Lanes Bowling Alley in the '60s, which is now the town's laundromat. They also raised a family together. She loved having coffee with her friends and sharing that Jesus is Lord. She is survived by her sons, Dave McGehee and John (Dana) McGehee; daughters Diane Robinson, Penny Hulse, and Stacy McGehee; 10 grandchildren and one great grandchild. She is known by many and will be deeply missed. The family would like to express their appreciation to Hospice of the West for their ministrations during her final days. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Heritage Funeral Chapel at 6830 W. Thunderbird Rd, Peoria, AZ, 85381, at 2:00 pm on Saturday, April 24th, 2021. Family graveside services will be conducted at the Peeples Valley Pioneer Cemetery afterwards, where Peggy will be interred with her husband, Sam, and his parents, Claude and Otillia McGehee. In lieu of flowers, donations to Hospice of the West would be greatly appreciated. Heritage Funeral Chapel
