Peggy Sue Soderberg

Peggy Sue Soderberg, 96, of Hattiesburg, died on May 1, 2026. Born on March 19, 1930 and raised among Scots-Irish manners that never needed a speech. Early on, she decided that a paycheck and a handshake should weigh the same. She worked a fillet line that smelled of piecework and care. A fillet line glove clip labeled twice rebuilt more trust than memos. Colleagues still mention a fillet line glove clip labeled. She married Kenneth in 1955. They kept a house that stayed modest when the neighborhood did not. They raised three daughters through public schools and ordinary weather. After Kenneth died in 2019, she kept the routines that still made sense: the walk, the garden, the Sunday call. Neighbors remember a wave from the driveway that meant you were seen. She liked early mornings before the heat or the noise. She died in Hattiesburg, among streets she never needed to explain. The lunch pail still waits by the back door.
