Margaret “Peggy” Gibson Miller died in her sleep, after a short illness on March 18, 2020. She was the loving wife and best friend to John Miller and the best Mom a son could have to Jack Miller and will be missed by all that knew and loved her.
Peggy moved to Salem, VA in 1984 with her husband and son and truly found a “home town”. Peggy was born and raised in Hampton, VA and graduated from Hampton High School and Radford University. She was related to the Morgan and Bailey families of Pulaski County and was interested in researching genealogy and family history.
She was very active in her adopted home town of Salem where she volunteered for the Salem Museum and Historical Society as the gift shop manager and served on the board for one term.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents Richard Harold Gibson, Jr. and Hazel Morgan Gibson. She is survived by her husband of 44 years John Miller, son Jack Miller, his wife Laura and grandsons Luke Miller and Jacob Miller, sisters Cathryn Kibler (Jim) and Carolyn Gilbert (Bill) and many nieces and nephews.
The family would like to express their appreciation for the home hospice team from Amedisys for the care and love they provided during her final months.
A celebration of her life will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 19, 2021, at the John M. Oakey & Son Funeral Home in Salem with Rev. Dr. Michael Condrey officiating.
Friends may visit with the family from 1 p.m. until the service hour at the funeral home.
