Peggy Pruitt passed away on Friday, March 8th. She joined the Motor Maids in 1964. Unfortunately, her failing eyesight prevented Peggy from continuing her active riding status. Peggy became a retired Motor Maid a few years ago. She is remembered by many given her long tenure in the club. Peggy was a very active member; serving the club as a District Director, and Advisory Editor from 1987-1990. Service was held on March 16
Peggy was born in Surry County, NC on September 3, 1930; daughter of the late Willie Kennedy and Anna Hemric Kennedy. She was a member of New Covenant Church in Ennice, NC. She was educated in Elkin City Schools and Charlotte Community College and retired from General Electric, Charlotte, NC. Peggy had an adventuresome spirit, riding her Harley Davidson motorcycle in all states including Canada with her fellow Motor Maids. Her passions were bird watching, long walks, quilting, gardening, dancing and her dogs. She was a lake dweller, but her later years were spent in the Blue Ridge Mountains which she loved and where she grew closer to God. Survivors include her husband, Forest Dick Pruitt; grandson, Jason Pruitt; daughter-in-law, Nancy Alps (Lynn); son, Rick Guyer and family; a niece and a nephew. The family would like to thank a devoted caregiver, Nina Caudill
