Peggy Sue Powers, 70, of Paducah, passed away at 11:50 a.m. on Sunday, February 7, 2010 at Western Baptist Hospital. She was a member of Southland Baptist Temple, a secretary for Taylor Homes and retired as a secretary from Farley Elementary School. Our mother was not your ordinary 70 yr. old woman. She loved life and was very young at heart. She loved being with her family and did anything to keep us together. She was the rock that everyone could lean on and she is missed so much already. She loved the Lord and touched everyone she met along life's journey. Mom left us with a lot of great memories that will be cherished until we are with her again. She went to be with the Lord with so much grace as we all stood around the bed as she took her last breath. She was such a fighter. She then departed this world to be with the Lord and her parents, we are sure she has missed so much. As a Christian this is how a person carries on without your loved one. Just to know that our mother (Mimi) is now walking, without fighting for each breath, hand in hand with Jesus on the streets of gold gives our family so much peace. Throughout our mothers life she touched so many lives. She was an Angel on earth and now is flying high with the Lord. Our prayers to you the reader is that if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Savior, that you will accept him today and leave your loved ones the peace our mother has left us.
