Helen Joan Pegg, age 80, passed away Monday, June 12, 2023 at the SECU Hospice House of Johnston Health in Smithfield, NC after a long battle with cancer. Her final moments were spent peacefully, surrounded by family, close friends, and her beloved dog Mollie.
Helen was born in Baltimore, MD to the late Charles and Mary Weber on December 30, 1942. She and Allan Harold Pegg were married October 6, 1962 and have enjoyed a loving 60 years of marriage. They lived in Maryland until 2002, moving to Pittsboro, NC and then Clayton, NC. She is survived by her husband Allan, her daughter Jennifer Pegg Janson and her husband Karl of Apex, NC; and her son Todd Allan Pegg and his wife Tina of Fairfield, VA. Helen and Allan were active members of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Smithfield, NC, and enjoyed traveling around the country and the world. Known for her energy and love of flowers & gardening, Helen will be dearly missed by all who knew her, especially her many friends and neighbors in Pittsboro and Clayton. Helen and Jennifer enjoyed the occasional “girls’ trip” together, and dog sitting during each other’s independent travels.
Both Helen and her family had nothing but praise and appreciation for the wonderful folks at Johnston Hematology/Oncology Clayton, and the Smithfield SECU Hospice House.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, June 24th at 2:00 PM at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to St. Paul’s Episcopal Church or the SECU Hospice House in Smithfield.
