Peggy Joyce Parker Cutter

Peggy Joyce Parker Cutter, 76, better known as PJ or Peg, received her call to heaven on Monday, February 8, 2016. PJ had received an unexpected diagnosis of cancer just three weeks prior. Upon hearing the diagnosis, her response was, "We are all going to go sometime, so please don't cry for me. I've had good life and I am ready". PJ loved to travel, read John Grisham books, watch wildlife (especially the deer and hawks that were ever present outside her back door), playing countless hours of cards and dominoes, and spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was a member and past president of the Stony Valley Home Extension Club, and she enjoyed weekly water aerobics with many of her good friends at the Jones Center. Her North Carolina roots run deep and her family that remains there were very important to her, as were her many nieces, nephews, cousins, and sister in-laws that reside all over the US. For the past three years she made her home with her beloved daughter and son-in-law, Shari and Joe Reed, here in the beautiful Ozarks. She lived life to the fullest and loved it with all her heart. Peggy was born on September 19, 1939 in North Carolina. She was preceded in death by her late husband, John Cutter, whom she referred to as her "John Boy". She was the daughter of the late James Robert Parker and Mary Louise Fuller Parker. She will be celebrating in heaven with her siblings who meant the world to her: Joe, Roy, Cecil, David, Dottie, and Linda. She is survived by her last remaining sibling, Bobby Parker, who resides in North Carolina. Peggy also leaves behind four children and two step-daughters: son Ron Adams and wife, Janice, of Buhler, Kan.; son Michael Adams and wife, Christina, of San Marcos, Calif; daughter Shari Reed and husband, Joe, of Tontitown, Ark.; son James Adams of Springdale, Ark.; stepdaughters Patti Lee and husband Jerry, of Escondido, Calif., and Lynn Masoner and husband Ron of Chandler Ariz. PJ was a wonderful grandmother to numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with whom she shared many trips, games, and much love. Our family would like to thank the Circle of Life Hospice for their kindness and support, as well as her wonderful caregiver, Jennifer Palma. Please join us in a celebration of her life at Westfield Chapel Funeral Home in Springdale. It was her final wish to be cremated and her remains buried under a Dogwood tree on the farm where she resided off Reed Valley Road. A Celebration of Life Service will be Saturday, February 13, 2016, 1 p.m. at Westfield Chapel Funeral Home, 3236 W Huntsville Ave., Springdale, Ark.
