 Peggy Anne Chappell Lane, 86, of 834 County Line Road, died Friday, October 18, 2024, in her home where she was cared for by her family.

 Mrs. Lane was born in Perquimans County on June 19, 1938, and was the daughter of the late Edgar Allison and Beulah Marie Chappell. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Claude Elson Lane; her son, Ricky Lee “Rick” Lane; her sister, Janet C. Byrum (Richard, deceased); and by her brother, Douglas Ray Chappell, Sr.

 Raised in the fellowship of Hunter’s Fork Pentecostal Holiness Church, many in the community will remember Peggy from years past as she worked with her parents in the family business, Edgar Chappell’s Store, located at the fork on County Line Road where they lived.

 Surviving are nieces, Allison Byrum and Ginger Byrum; nephews, Ray Byrum (Michelle) and Douglas Chappell, Jr.; great-nieces, Anne Marie Weeks, Olivia Chappell Dorrier, and Carlie Rae Byrum; great-nephews, J.R. Weeks (Lindy) and Douglas Weeks; sisters-in-law, Joan Chappell and Carrie Byrum Dail; and other extended members of both the Chappell and Lane families.

 A memorial service will be held Thursday, October 24th, at 4:00 p.m. in the chapel of Miller & Van Essendelft Funeral Home, 1125 Harvey Point Road, Hertford, and will be conducted by Kenny Lane. Friends may join the family in the funeral home immediately following the service, and other times at the residence. The burial will be at a later time when she will be placed to rest next to her husband Claude, and their son, Rick, in West Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Elizabeth City.

 The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to the staff of Albemarle Hospice, notably Lisa and Ashante, for the care and comfort given to Peggy during her period of declining health.
