Elizabeth Archer, affectionately known as "Peggy" all of her life, went to sleep in her chair after reading the Sunday paper and awakened to the greatest family reunion imaginable.

Peggy was born in Fort Blackmore, Virginia, on September 9, 1925, married Roy Archer on July 25, 1946, and lived most of her life in Kingsport. Peggy loved her life on the farm and lived for her family and took the greatest care of them and worked hard as a "Domestic Goddess" all her married life. She went to her eternal home on Sunday, November 4, 2012. She was loved and will be missed greatly by all who knew her. Peggy was a member of Sullivan Baptist Church, attending faithfully until she became unable to due to health reasons.
