Runyon. Peggy was a devoted mother and grandmother. She was proud of her family and proud to become “Grandma” to her many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and just recently became a great-great grandma. She loved the family get-togethers.  Any chance to spend time with her family was very important to her. She had the kindest heart and, as remembered by her grandson, David, the strongest women he knew. She loved all people and always welcomed friends and their children to visit her. She was amazing, generous, and kind.  She instilled these values in her children and grandchildren. Peggy is survived by her children, Diane Elaine Gause, Teri Jean Hendricks, Susan Denise Ryder, 10 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. She was preceded in death by her parents, husbands, Richard Lisle Bordwell, and Stanley James “Jim” Bearden; her son, Roger Earl Bordwell;  great-grandchild, Teri Marie Garrett, and a brother, Dick Runyon.
