Mrs. Margaret “Peggy” Lyn Walker Teasley, age 71, of Murfreesboro, TN passed away Thursday, March 12, 2026. She was born in Sparta, TN to the late William and Lois Wiggs Walker. Peggy earned her bachelor's degree at Middle Tennessee State University. She taught at LaVergne High School and Siegel High School. Peggy attended all the sporting events at the high schools where she taught. More than a teacher, she poured her heart and soul into caring for her students inside and outside the classroom. Peggy was an avid UT Volunteer fan, loved any time spent at the beach with family and friends, and loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. She was a born-again believer, prayer warrior, and longtime member of Northside Baptist Church and loved her Lord and Savior, Jesus.

 

Peggy is survived by her husband of 42 years, Jim Teasley; children, Clint Teasley and his wife Amy and Laura Teasley and her fiancé Cory Sorgenfrei; grandchildren, Reese Sorgenfrei, Judson Teasley, Landree Sorgenfrei, and Emerson Teasley; brothers, John R. Walker, Billy Walker and his wife Ann, Tommy Walker, and Harold Walker and his wife Carolyn; many nieces and nephews; and faithful canine companion, Jax.
