Services for Peggy Ragan are as follows: A Vigil service will be held at 7PM on Friday at St John the Evangelist Church in Warrenton, VA. The Funeral will be at 12 noon on Saturday, also at St. John’s. Peggy asked that everyone try to wear something red (her favorite color) to the Funeral.
In leiu of flowers, Peggy asked that donations to help those battling ALS be made as described on the Peggy and Bernie Project website (www.peggyandbernieproject.org).
