In Loving Memory of Peggy Elder Bearden: A Life of Grace, Love, and Resilience
Loganville, GA — The Loganville community is mourning the heartbreaking loss of Peggy Elder Bearden, who passed away at the age of 83 on May 14, 2025, during a tragic incident that has left her family and loved ones shaken. Known for her unwavering kindness, warm heart, and generous spirit, Peggy leaves behind a legacy defined by love, family, and the countless lives she touched throughout her years.
Peggy is survived by her devoted husband, Duane Bearden, who is currently recovering from multiple injuries sustained during the same tragic event. He remains under medical care and is expected to undergo further surgeries. While his recovery continues, the family has chosen to delay funeral services to ensure that Duane can be present when they gather to honor and celebrate Peggy’s life. This decision speaks to the profound bond the two shared — a love story built on partnership, resilience, and mutual devotion that spanned decades.
To know Peggy was to know joy, compassion, and quiet strength. Whether she was offering a word of encouragement, preparing a meal for a neighbor in need, or simply sharing a smile that could light up a room, Peggy lived each day with grace and empathy. Her deep-rooted values and positive presence radiated to all corners of her life — within her family, her circle of friends, her church community, and the town she called home.
She was a cornerstone of the Bearden family, a source of comfort and guidance, and a steadfast example of how to live with dignity and purpose. Her passing leaves an immeasurable void, but also an enduring light that will continue to guide those she leaves behind.
The family has asked for continued thoughts and prayers as they navigate this incredibly difficult time. In the days ahead, they will release further details regarding a memorial service, which they intend to hold in celebration of Peggy’s extraordinary life once Duane is able to join them. In the meantime, the community has rallied around the family with messages of support, acts of kindness, and heartfelt tributes.
“Peggy was the heart of our family,” said one relative. “She made life brighter and better for everyone she met. We will miss her every single day, but we’ll carry her love with us always.”
As Loganville reflects on Peggy Elder Bearden’s life, we remember a woman of quiet strength, deep faith, and limitless love. Her story is not defined by the tragedy of her passing, but by the beauty of her years, the warmth of her heart, and the goodness she left in her wake.
May her memory be a comfort to those who grieve, and may the love she gave so freely continue to be a source of peace and strength in the days ahead.
Rest in eternal peace, Peggy Elder Bearden. You are deeply loved and forever missed.
