Peggy Floyd Walker died peacefully Sunday morning February 25, 2018 at her home, surrounded by family.
Mrs. Walker was born August 12, 1933, a daughter of the late John Tillman and Orie McKenzie Floyd. She was married 51 years to the late Charlie Walker, who affectionately called her “Ole Scrap Iron.” She was a graduate of Kingstree High School, and went on to graduate Cosmetology School. Mrs. Peggy worked as a cosmetologist and was a homemaker. She spent her life serving others. Mrs. Peggy was the oldest living member of Sandy Bay Pentecostal Holiness Church, where she served as a Sunday school teacher, a member of the choir, and women ministries. She has also been a member of the Pilot Club. She enjoyed cooking, planting a garden and above all her beautiful grandchildren.
Mrs. Walker was predeceased by three brothers, Laverne, Lajune, and Lanue Floyd; and three sisters, Larotha Cochran, Jackie Wall and Mickie Campbell. She was beloved by many friends, and dozens of nieces and nephews. Mrs. Peggy lived a simple, yet extraordinary life, and touched the lives of countless people with a gentle, kind spirit that never sought or desired recognition.
Surviving Mrs. Peggy are: her son, Chuck (Mary) Walker, of Lake City; and 5 grandchildren that were the apple of her eye; Carsten Walker, Noah Walker, Abigail Walker, Will Humphries and Ben Humphries, all of Lake City.
The family would like to acknowledge and give a huge thank you to Dr. Troy Gamble and Dr. Dorn Smith. No one gave more care, love, and compassion than these two men. Again, thank you.
Through the years, Charlie made her the brunt of many of his “jokes”. Most evolved around her cooking, especially her biscuits. We are sure that the Good Master allowed her to bake manna biscuits when she arrived, then made Charlie sit down and eat.

Chuck and family, Your mother was very dear to me from the time I first met her several years ago.
She was a special lady and I LOVED her much. May God comfort your hearts at your loss. She will be
missed greatly.
Love, Beth and Russell Feagin
We are thinking of all of you with much love.

My prayers for peace and comfort for the family. I know where Ms. Peggy is and rejoice in her home coming. She ran a good race and I can just hear God saying ” well done my good and faithful servant”.
What a great loss.
for all of the family! Peggy was a very special lady! Much love to all of you!
Chuck and family,
I have fond memories of Peggy, she was our beautician when I was still in school in Kingstree. I remember one day especially when my mom and I went in to get our hair done, Peggy was all excited and giggly, she said Charlie Walker had asked her out on a date. She said, “He was so different from when he is on the radio!” She was a special lady and I know you all will miss her. Thinking of you and your family
What a great loss for the Floyd family! She loved all of you so much!
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Chuck – you were a young boy the last time I saw you, but I recall several visits to Charles and Peggy’s home in Kingstree back in the day. My Father, Glenn Plyler, was a first cousin of your Dad, and visiting their home was always a treat with lots of quips and stories about our Clemson Tigers and always good food provided by Peggy. Your Mother was unassuming, kind and full of grace as I remember. To God’s peace and comfort, I add my condolences.
Dearest Chuck,
Please accept my condolences for your loss; Aunt Peggy was so special to so many people. I was saddened to hear of her passing and disappointed in knowing I am unable to attend tomorrow’s services. However, there is solace and comfort in knowing she is free of discomfort and in a better place. You, Uncle Charlie and Aunt Peggy always treated me as family, and I’m truly greatful and appreciative of this point; despite being the token Yankee. 🙂
Contrary to Uncle Charlie’s public comments, I will truly miss her Sunday dinners with fresh biskets, sweet corn and butter beans. I’m sure you know, however it is worth repeating that your mother was a great person. Her smile, sense of humor and zest for life will be dearly missed by more than just the Sandy Bay community.
Sincerely,
Michael
Chuck and family, I was saddened to hear of Peggy’s passing. She was such a wonderful person. I can not relate how much both your Mom (and Dad) meant to my Peggy and I. When I managed the radio station and when we came back and purchased it both Peggy and Charlie were so wonderful to us. We felt like family! It truely was “coming home” to return to Kingstree.
Your mom was so thoughtful and kind. She called me after my Peggy passed to make sure I was OK and said when I returned to South Carolina to be sure to come by the house and she would make me some of her famous “biscuits”! Ha. I regret I didn’t do that.
A comforting thought to help with your grief. Peggy is with her Charlie now!
Chuck, been praying for you and your family. I tried to call you, but I have the wrong number! They do have phone service on Sandy Bay, don’t they? Ha.
Anyway, know that we love you and your family. Special, special people. Unfortunately, I cannot leave work, but know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I wanted to reach out to you during this sad time to offer my condolences. While nothing will completely take away your grief, by meditating on God’s promises found in the Bible, you can find real hope and the strength to keep going. I have found the scripture at Isaiah 25:8 to be especially comforting. Here it promises that God “will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces.”
