Peggy Yvonne Sweeten was born Oct. 29, 1951, in Pasadena, Texas. She passed away Nov. 9, 2026, in Livingston, Texas, at the age of 75.
Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Chester Hollis and Katie Marmon; her husband, Mack Bartley Sweeten; her son, Tyler Wayne Sweeten; her sisters, Marie Gilmore and Donna Birdsong; and her brother, James Edward Hollis.
She is survived by her daughters, Jody Shilling and husband Trey, and Jamie Sweeten; her grandson, Tyler Sweeten; her brother, Doyle Wayne Hollis and wife Debbie; and her sister, Julie Ann Marmon. She also leaves behind many other family members and friends whom she loved dearly.
Until her illness became more pronounced, Peggy was always very active. She enjoyed spending time with her grandson, visiting with friends, playing cards and Wahoo, fishing, gardening and being the “boss lady” she always was.
There was always a cold glass of sweet tea waiting to be shared with others in her home. She was truly a one-of-a-kind gem in her family and throughout her life.
Peggy always had a way of making people laugh and was ready to give anyone the shirt off her back if needed. Like her siblings, she could always be counted on to give an honest opinion!
There will never be enough words to express who she was because she was so very unique. Her personality will always be remembered, and the memories of her will never be forgotten.
A celebration of life service honoring Peggy and her husband will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Nov. 28 at Ace Community Park.
