Peggy Hilliard Nabors, 88, died peacefully in her sleep on July 10, 2023.

Peggy was born to Price and Annie Lou Hilliard in Raleigh, North Carolina. Upon graduating from Bob Jones University, she began teaching high school in Portsmouth, Virginia. One Sunday morning a tall, handsome visitor walked into church carrying a Bible. Peggy and her roommate invited this young Tennessean to their apartment for a home cooked meal. That lunch must have been good, because Peggy cooked for David for the next 49 years.

After moving to Chattanooga as a newlywed, Peggy taught at Lakeside Elementary until she retired from teaching to be a stay-at-home mother. When David retired, together they traveled and lived in Eastern Europe to share the good news of Jesus with teachers through the International School Project. Following David's death, Peggy stayed active spending time with family, friends and neighbors.  She was involved at her church, North Shore Fellowship, mentoring young moms.  Her Thursday morning Ladies' Bible Study was the highlight of her week...studying God's word with precious friends.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, her husband David Nabors, and sister Virginia Sue Jones.  She is survived by her children: Robbin Henon (Kirk), Stephen Nabors (Billenda), and Joseph Nabors (Marti). Grandchildren: Teal Nabors Gibson (Zane), Dr. Macall Nabors Wirz (Jacob), Kai Nabors, Blake Sparks, Patrick Sparks (Mariana), Amber Barnes (Josh), Audra Guerrero (Keith Franzen), and Andrew Guerrero. Great grandchildren: Hutch Gibson, Ivan Sparks, Patrick Sparks, Addie Sparks, Emma Sparks, Jensen Barnes, Hazel Barnes and Lotus Guerrero. Sisters-in-law Aprille Quinn, Jo Pelham, and a bevy of nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be at 11:00 am on Saturday, July 22, 2023 in the funeral home chapel of Hamilton Funeral Home.  The family will receive friends from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Friday, July 21, 2023 and from 9:30 am until time of service Saturday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The Mary Ellen Locher Foundation (melfoundation.org) or North Shore Fellowship (nsfellowship.org)
