Peggy Jean Snider Hardin, daughter of the late Carl Edward and Lerlen Jackson Snider, was born April 29, 1937, passed away Friday, September 2, 2022, peacefully in her home surrounded by her family, at the age of 85.

Ms. Hardin was an active member of the LaValle Baptist Church, where she enjoyed singing. She was the Parma Cub Scout Leader for many years. Peggy had a contagious smile that made everyone feel welcomed and loved. She was an avid Cardinals fan and never missed a game. Peggy loved crocheting, gardening, traveling and her beloved chickens. She looked forward to sunny summer days and watching the great-grandkids swim in the pool. Peggy loved nothing more than her family and spending time on the farm.
