Friends and family of Peggy Brown Buffa share memories and messages of love in the wake of her passing on May 24, 2018. Read on for tributes and service information.
A Beloved Mother & Friend
She held many titles in her lifetime – caring daughter, faithful follower of Christ, and loyal friend. She took great joy in each of their cheerleading competitions, supported them in every endeavor and became known by many as the best team mom.
Above all, Peggy was most proud to be a mother to her two beautiful daughters, Kelly and Kaitlyn. Kelly is a teacher at West Memorial Junior High in Katy ISD and Kaitlyn graduated this past weekend from Cinco Ranch High School.
Peggy was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in both lungs in October 2017 but anyone who knew Peggy knew that this diagnosis didn’t stop her fight. She fought hard through several forms of chemotherapy before passing away on Thursday, May 24.
