Peggy Sue (Kelley) Ragland, 71, of Marshall, died July 6, 2022 surrounded by her family. She was born October 11, 1950 in Harrison, Arkansas, daughter of the late Millard and Ermadean Watts Kelley.

Without a doubt, her greatest joy was her family. She was a devoted Mom and Gram, and she leaves a rich legacy of love and laughter. She graduated from Marshall High School in 1968. She attended Harrison Beauty College and was a beautician on and off throughout her life, as well as the director of the Harrison Housing Authority.

She was known for being the programmer at the local radio station, KCGS, and host of the Swap Shop. She spent the last part of her career as a driver for a medical transportation service.

Her true calling in life was being a caregiver, and she cared for others as though they were her own family. In her spare time, she enjoyed singing gospel music, playing instruments including the piano, mandolin, and bass, and performing with her lifelong friends in The Gospel Strings.

To know her was to truly love her. She never met a stranger and welcomed everyone she met with her sweet spirit and contagious smile. Of all the important roles she played in the lives of so many, her favorite was the role of “Gram” to her most cherished grandchildren. She was a light in this world and will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her daughter, Andria Farris and husband Terry of Searcy; grandchildren, Garrett Skaggs of Sherwood, Jordan Smith and husband Jacob of Sheridan; sister Diane Manes and husband Ronnie of Snowball; nieces, Misty Barnett and Kelli Lindgren. She is also survived by her beloved Maltipoo, Rosko Riley, as well as a host of other family members and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents. Visitation was scheduled for Saturday, July 9, 2022 from 1:00-2:00 p.m. at Roller-Coffman Funeral Home, followed by funeral services at 2:00 p.m. Donnie Horton officiated. Burial services were at Sulphur Springs Cemetery in Leslie. Pallbearers were Terry Farris, Ralph Skaggs, Garrett Skaggs, Jacob Smith, Billy Ray Kelley, and Ronnie Manes.
