Peggy Jeanette (Stone) Harrington

Peggy Jeanette Stone Harrington, age 76, of Grapeland, Texas, a woman of humor, determination, and love, passed away peacefully with her family by her side, on Saturday, the 15th day of July 2023.  Peggy was born on the 23rd day of December 1946, in Clifton, Texas to parents J.T. “Porter” Stone and Nadine Christopher Stone.

Peggy spent the majority of her life in Bridge City, Texas, before relocating to Grapeland, Texas, following a series of hurricanes. Peggy was a master quilter, her intricate designs reflecting her keen eye for detail and her boundless creativity. She also had a passion for genealogy, a pursuit that deepened her understanding and appreciation of her family roots. Peggy was in her element when working the land on her tractor, a testament to her love for nature and her tenacity.

Above all, Peggy was a loving individual. Her laughter was infectious, her spirit gentle. She was the heart of her family, her love a source of comfort and strength to all who knew her. Peggy will be dearly missed, but her legacy of love and laughter will live on in the hearts of those she touched.

She is preceded in death by her parents J.T. and Nadine Stone, and her sister, Benita Diane Stone Gearhart.
