In Memoriam:
Lenora "Peggy" Cleo Bennett
Born: August 31, 1938Died: December 27, 2017
Lenora Cleo Bennett, age 79, passed from this life in her sleep on December 27, 2017. She had been fighting sickness and injury the past few years. She is survived by her four children, Duane Fitzpatrick, Robert Fitzpatrick Jr., Karen Parrish and Patricia Hunt, her seven grandchildren, and eight grand-children. Three of her siblings, two brothers and one sister are also still with us.
Known by many of her friends and family as "Peggy", she was born in West Virginia. As a young child, her family moved to Litchfield, Ohio, where her sister still lives. Peggy lived and loved in several parts of the United States in her lifetime, including, Ohio, Texas, Oklahoma, and Kentucky.
She worked as a meat wrapper in grocery stores for most of her career. As the cold meat departments started to bother her body, she worked in several factory jobs before retiring at the age of 62. She spent most of her retirement years with friends and family, often active in a local church. Her hobbies were bowling, cake decorating, walking, reading cheesy romance novels, and singing.
She made friends easily and had a fun trait: she gave almost everyone she saw more than once a nickname. She will be remembered as "Big Red" and "Peggy," two of her most common nicknames.
