JULY 24, 1951 – NOVEMBER 7, 2026
In the Care of Laird Funeral Home
Peggy Sue Dixon Beall was born on July 24, 1951, at Orange, Texas. She passed from this world on November 7, 2026, at her home in Panola County. Her father, Ervin Eugene Dixon, was from Alabama, and her mother, Katie Blanche Murphy Dixon, was from Louisiana. However, Peggy was a Texan through and through all her life. Peggy grew up in North Houston where she met and married her husband, David Wayne Beall, whose roots were in East Texas. They were together for more than 60 years. No man ever loved a woman more than David loved Peggy, and Peggy returned that love many times over. She worked at David’s side from the beginning to the end. “Therefore, a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”
Peggy is survived by her husband and two daughters Ginger Catherine Beall Howes of Hockley and Cindy Catherine Beall Hernandez of Conroe and three grandchildren Chenoa Catherine Howes, Samuel Wayne Hernandez, and Emily Idamarie Hernandez.
Her parents and her younger sister, Nettie Kay Dixon, preceded Peggy in death.
Moving ten times in the first ten years of marriage, Peggy followed her husband wherever his job carried them including Texas City, South Louisiana, Longview, and the Houston area. Peggy’s life was that of a wife, mother, and friend though her abilities and personality could have carried her far elsewhere. Wherever she lived she made a home for her family. She had many friends, too numerous to name, and their lives were mutually shared and enhanced with love. She never met a stranger.
Peggy belonged to the Church of Christ for half a century, and she led others to Christ. She trusts that His promises will be done. Peggy will be dearly missed. She will be buried in Gravel Ridge Cemetery, Nacogdoches County, as a part of the fourth generation of David’s family there.
