Friends and Family of
Peggy Morehead
Eulogy by
Johnny Alexander
Peggy
(Emma Josephine Clark) Morehead was a gift from God to
Archie Bell Clark and Ollie Mae Boone my
grandparents. Of the 17 children born 13
survived infancy and of those 13 Aunt Peggy was number
10, she first saw the light of day February 5, 1937 in
Smith Center Kansas, the family moved here to Odem in
1945.
Some
of the fondest memories as a child revolved around
three of my aunts (Patsy, Peggy & Alice) and two
uncles (Archie & Doc), I thought I was their little
brother until I was about 5 or 6 years old, and by
then it didn’t matter because the bond of love
couldn’t separate us.
Both
her parents 4 sisters 2 brothers her infant son Terry
Glenn Morehead and her friend Stanley Schmitton
precede Aunt Peggy in death. Her sons Billy Wayne
Morehead of Caldwell TX, and Dennis Allen Morehead of
Hearne TX, also her grandchildren, Vince Gail
Morehead, Vicki Lynn Morehead, Allen Wayne Morehead,
Kaneda Ann Morehead one great-grandchild, her former
Husband Billy Ray Morehead survive her in life. She is
also survived by brothers Dale Clark of Sacramento
CA, Archie Clark of Helotes TX, Phillip Clark of
Beeville TX and sisters Mildred Pleuler of Woodbridge
N.J. and Lea Ingram of Corpus Christi TX and several
nieces and nephews.
If I
could put my finger on what made her so special would
have to be her heart and her passion for her boys and
grandchildren, this lady had a heart as big as Texas.
Aunt Peggy loved her family and strangers alike, and
as far back as I can remember she was always committed
to helping someone who needed a helping hand, a pat on
the back, a shoulder to cry on,, a quarter for a pack
of Camels, or a nickel for a coke, and nothing meant
any more to her than her family.
This
little package of dynamite could get mad at someone in
or out of the family and in the same breath be
willing to fight to her very death for that person,
and the word hate was not in her the words she used
on a regular basis.
Aunt
Peggy was very passionate about her beliefs in God,
Family and Politics, She was always ready for a good
debate, and if you had the tenacity to have a go at it
she would give you your money’s worth. I never knew
her to back down from a challenge no matter what is
was about, she would even argue with you for only the
sport of it. That was Aunt Peggy.
As
she closed her eyes in death April 28 2003 and being
here with us for 66 years 2 months and 23 days Emma
Josephine Clark (Morehead). Went to be with her LORD.

Requiem of
Thanks©
Peggy Morehead
January 5, 1991
I pray dear
Lord, every day,
And get down on my knees
I say a prayer of thanks to You,
For all You’ve given me.
My heart is filled with thankfulness,
For every thing I own,
But now its time to thank You Lord
For the things You never done!
You did’nt give
me blindness
So I could’nt see the light,
You did’nt give me deafness
So I could’nt hear whats right
You did’nt give me anything,
That I did1nt need
For all those things, You did’nt give
I thank You for indeed!
You did’nt give
me enemies,
I made them on my own
You did’nt give me problems
The fault is mine alone
You did’nt give me selfishniss
Or fill my heart with greed
What I don’t have, I owe to You
So, thank You, Lord indeed

ICE ANGELS
Peggy Morehead
January 27, 2003
On a cold, frosty
night
Ice crystals had formed on the window pane
Outside my hospital room.
As I watched the thousands of ice angels
Dancing across my window pane,
The lights from afar
Touching the tiny feet and wing tips
Causing such a flutter.
I discovered
After a few nights of watching my ice angels,
They weren’t dancing at all!
They were delivering special messages
Between my ‘Special Angela sister and me.
