Peggy Jo Harlan was born February 1, 1931 in Byars, Okla., the third of five children born to David Franklin Harlan and Myrtle Glenn (Lannom).
She spent her earlier years in Byars and later Purcell where she attended school. Peggy married William Albert “Babe” Cunningham and together they raised a son, Joe.
Peggy worked as a Claims Agent for Aetna Insurance Group for several years. To Peggy, family was everything. She was very close with her siblings, and enjoyed playing dominos and cards for hours and hours. She looked forward to the holidays, and planning and preparing for Thanksgiving and Christmas Holiday dinners. Peggy could be a bit onery and at times opinionated, but her heart was good and she truly loved people. She will be dearly missed!
