Peggy Mire Landry

It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Peggy Mire Landry, a beloved member of our community, who left us on April 5, 2025, in Prairieville, Louisiana. Born in Baton Rouge, Peggy's life was a testament to love, faith, and dedication, and she will be mourned deeply by all who knew her.

Peggy was educated at St. Gerard's Catholic School, where she laid the foundation for a lifelong love of learning and faith. A long-standing member of St. John, the Evangelist Catholic Church, she devoted herself not only to her spiritual community but also to the Ladies Alter Society, reflecting her steadfast commitment to serving others.

Throughout her vibrant life, Peggy found joy in various hobbies and interests that brought her happiness and fulfillment. She was an avid fisherman who embraced the tranquility of nature, as well as a skilled bowler who cherished the camaraderie found in that sport, and playing bingo. Peggy also had a profound love for dancing, which brought her closer to family and friends during joyous gatherings. Her passion for cooking, especially reading recipe books, showcased her creative nature in the kitchen. In her quieter moments, Peggy immersed herself in oil painting, where she expressed her artistic talents and shared her vision of beauty with the world.
