LEXINGTON: Alma Marie Peeples went to be with the Lord Saturday, July 9, 2016 in her son’s Greenwell Springs, Louisiana home surrounded by her family. She was 88.

On October 14, 1949, she married William C. Peeples and they shared over 35 wonderful years of marriage until he passed away in 1985. Now they are together again.
Alma worked for General Motors for a time before working at her husband’s Insurance Agency, Farley-Peeples Insurance. But her main occupation was that of a homemaker
