Peggy Janice
Boss
Apr 29, 1938 — Nov 26, 2024
Swainsboro
Peggy Janice Boss, age 86, passed away peacefully on November 26, 2024 in At Home Senior Living of Cochran, after an extended illness. She was born on April 29th, 1938 in Trion, GA, but lived many years in Swainsboro, GA and was a member of Hawhammock Baptist Church. She is preceded in death by her husband of 56 years, Clint Boss; parents, Albert Wesley "Tub" Dover and Vinnie Lucille Dover; brothers, Tommy, Roy "LaVaughn", David, and Marvin; sisters, Vinnie, Sadie, Brenda, and Shirley; daughter, Janice Hudson; and, grandson Greg Boss.
Peggy was a devoted wife, loving mother, amazing grandmother, but most importantly, a child of God. She was blessed to be able to raise her children on a farm in Swainsboro. Peggy was a fantastic seamstress staying busy making clothes for her children, family, and community. She later entered the workforce and subsequently retired as a factory worker using her skills in sewing. Peggy enjoyed her church family, singing, knitting, puzzles, game shows, Sunday dinners with family, and a fierce game of kickball with the grandkids. In 2017, Peggy was diagnosed with Parkinson's that resulted in her moving to At Home Senior Living of Cochran in March 2021. Here, she was known as "Grandma" and "Granny" by everyone.
Peggy is survived by her son, Marcus Boss (Amy) of Swainsboro; and son, Frank Boss (Debra) of Statesboro and her sister-in-law Trish Willis (Robert) of Twin City; grandchildren, Sharon Hudson, Mitchell Hudson (Karen), Shanna Dupree (Todd), David Boss, Daniel Fuller, Andrew Fuller, Tabatha Brewer (Seth), Johnathon Edge, David Olson, Brandon Olson (Kriston), Brett Olson (Alana); and 22 great grandchildren. She was loved by many cousins, nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends.
