Margaret Lorraine "Peggy" Brusherd, 71, of Rogers, Ark. passed away Saturday March 10, 2012, at New Hope Health and Rehab in Rogers. She was born April 10, 1940, in Chicago, Ill. to Edward Reynolds and Margaret McKeown Reynolds. She accepted Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus Christ) as her Lord and Savior in 1969.

She loved waving banners, singing Messianic songs, and reading her Bible. She was a strong, faithful prayer warrior. Peggy was active in Methodist, Baptist, Assembly of God, Four Square and Charismatic fellowships, but became most devoted to Messianic fellowships. She was preceded in death by her father, her mother and one daughter, Catherine Margaret Brusherd in 1969.
