November 25, 2019

Peggy O’Quinn Mortimer, 84, of Orange, Texas, passed away on November 24, 2019, at her home.

Peggy was extremely involved in her family’s lives and was always there to support them in every endeavor they took on. She adored her grandchildren who knew her best as “Nana”. Peggy enjoyed dressing to the nines and always encouraged her husband Yankee to sport matching outfits with her. She loved to dance and she and Yankee were quite the dancing team.
