Peggy Ann Adams Joyner

MOCKSVILLE – Mrs. Peggy Ann Adams Joyner, lovingly known by many as "Granny”, peacefully passed away on Friday, September 19, 2025, in Millers Creek, NC, at the remarkable age of 95. She was born on September 18, 1930, in Winston-Salem, NC, to W.R. Adams Sr. and Minnie Blevins Adams. Her life was a beautiful testament to unwavering faith, deep devotion to family, and a spirit of service to others. As the proud matriarch of a large and loving family, Peggy's legacy will be cherished for generations. Peggy was welcomed into heaven by her parents; her husband of 71 years, Willam H. Joyner Sr. ("Bill"); sons, Billy, Jeff, and Mike Joyner; brothers, Junior, Jim, and Jack Adams; sisters, Ethel Adams Barber and Mary Lee Adams Hartman; and grandson, Joe Joyner. She is survived by her children, Brenda Joyner Legg, Bob Joyner (Merrilyn), Deborah Joyner Hendrix, and Martha Joyner McCraw; sister, Linda Adams Cantrell; along with 14 grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren. Peggy graduated from Griffith High School in 1948, and married Bill in July of that same year. They would later move from Winston-Salem to Mocksville, NC where they built not just a house, but a home, and created loving memories. After raising her children, Peggy opened her own income tax service which she ran for over 25 years. As a faithful member of Blaise Baptist Church, Peggy cherished her Sunday school class and the friendships she made there. She also loved traveling, journaling, reading, and could always be found working a jigsaw puzzle or her daily sudoku. Though she will be dearly missed, her influence and love will live on in every heart she touched. The family wishes to thank all of Peggy's caregivers for their kindness and devotion, with special gratitude to our longtime caregiver and friend, Sharon, and to the staff of Gentiva Hospice of Wilkesboro who lovingly supported Peggy in her final days. A funeral service will be conducted at 1 p.m. Wednesday, September 24, at Blaise Baptist Church with Rev. Ken Furches and Rev. Glenn Sellers officiating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery. The family will receive friends one hour prior to the service, at the church. Memorial contributions in Peggy’s honor may be considered for Blaise Baptist Church , 134 Blaise Church Road, Mocksville, NC 27028. Online condolences may be made at www.eatonfuneralservice.com.
