Mary Margaret (Peggy) Patterson Kerr

Mary Margaret (Peggy) Patterson Kerr, 87, of Cumming, Ga passed away on Friday October 2, 2020.   She was born in Steubenville, Ohio in November 1933

She was preceded in death by her husband, Fred, whom she was married to for 34 years. 

Peggy lived in Cumming for 30 years.   She loved quilting and was a member of the Piecemakers Quilt Guild, her quilts are works of art.  She gave many of them to her children and grandchildren who will cherish these beautiful gifts and pass them along to future generations.  Peggy, always a fierce competitor, played a mean game of bridge.  The friendships that she made through quilting and bridge were treasures to her.  She enjoyed traveling adventures with her family and friends.  She enjoyed growing and preserving strawberries, which some (her children) may have perceived as overzealous.

Peggy is survived by her children and step-children, Colleen Carpenter, Bill Cochran, John Cochran, Theresa Weber (John), Evie Thomas (Paul), Cary Leonard (Leon), Keith Kerr (Jeanne) and Gordon Kerr.  Peggy’s beautiful family also included 16 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren.  Peggy is predeceased by her husband, Fred, her sister, Eleanor and her step-son, Doug Kerr.
