Peggy Sue Perritt, 84, of Mullins passed away peacefully Sunday, February 19, 2023 at her home with her family by her side. She was born in Wichita Falls, Texas, the daughter of the late Henry Bascomb Riley and the late Cora Burleson Riley.

Peggy met her beloved husband, Bud in Wichita Falls while he was stationed there in the United States Air Force. After marrying, the Air Force would take them and their growing family to South Carolina, Montana, and Virginia. Peggy and Bud ultimately settled on the Little Pee Dee River in the Fork Retch community. Peggy retired from the Lake View School system where she served as a teacher's aide for many years.

Peggy was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She never missed an opportunity to say, "I love you" or "I am proud of you". Her love of the Lord and her grace as she entered eternal life will always be remembered.

Mrs. Perritt was predeceased in addition to her parents and siblings by her husband of fifty-six years, James L. "Bud" Perritt, Sr.
