Peggy Sue Eades

Peggy Eades, 82, of Stillwater, Oklahoma passed away Saturday, November 9, 2024, with her children by her side. A memorial service will begin at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, January 4, 2025, at Stillwater Bible Church with Senior Pastor JB Bond officiating.

Peggy was born September 4, 1942, to Lewis and Vivian (Eiel) Carpenter in Carney, Oklahoma. Peggy graduated from Stillwater High School in 1960 and married Jerry Eades in 1960. They lived and raised their children, Cindi and Kerry, in Stillwater, Oklahoma City, and Longview, Texas. They were divorced after 31 years of marriage and later became best friends.

Peggy was known for her kindness, love, and generosity to her family and countless others. Also, known as “Mom” Eades, she served as the Facilities Director at Beta Zeta Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta sorority at Oklahoma State University for almost 23 years. She was so proud of each Theta and thoroughly enjoyed candle-light ceremonies and the mini-reunions that each annual OSU Homecoming provided.

To her children and grandchildren, they witnessed her love, generosity, and faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Her “servant’s heart” was always evident and an example to all of us even as she struggled with her health during the last five years. Her smile was fundamental to who she was.

Survivors include a daughter, Cindi Bacon of Statesville, NC; one son, Kerry Eades and his wife Maribeth of Stillwater, OK, eight grandchildren (Joshua, Samuel, Joseph, Joel, Jesse, Mary, Cameron, and Logan) and four great grandchildren (Paige, Stella, Piper, and Ryan).

She is preceded in death by her parents Lewis Carpenter and Vivian Carpenter, her sister Louise Adams, and her brother Elmer Carpenter. She is also preceded in death by grandsons Joseph Bacon and Joel Bacon.
