On Saturday September 24th, 2022, Margaret Ann Schley “Peggy” passed away. Margaret was born on March 8th , 1934, to John and Irene “Simpson” Nelson in Oakgrove, Kentucky.
Peggy was a dedicated wife, mother, and grandmother, who had a fierce love for God and her family. In
her free time, you could find Peggy playing an intense game of clabber with her siblings and in-laws. She was a huge fan of her TV soaps (especially Yellowstone), the Gaither Vocal Band, and watching MSN BC. Peggy’s favorite treat was the lemon cake and hot chocolate that her brother-in-law, Rick, always brought her.
Peggy is survived by her four daughters, Sandy (Rodney) Nelson, Debbie (Elza) Greene, Jeannie (Joe)
Devoy, Laurie Gonzalez; sixteen grandchildren, thirty-two great grandchildren, ten great great
grandchildren; sister, Chris Smith; sister, Vicki (Rick) Jackson; brother, Jay (Jean) Nelson; and many
nieces, nephews, and extended family.
Along with her parents, Peggy is preceded in death by her loving husband of sixty-six years, Charles
“Bud” Schley; infant son, Jerry Wayne Schley; sister, Thelma (Elon “Sonny”) Grimm; sister, Katherine
“Kat” (Arthur “Basil”) Masterson; son-in-law, Ed Gonzalez; brother-in-law, John Smith; granddaughter,
Breana Logsdon; great great grandson, Baby Atticus; and great great granddaughter, Emma Rose
Williams.

Vincent Hospital, the staff at North River, and all of the Angels at Heart to Heart Hospice.
