Peggy was preceded in death by her mother, Priscilla Jane (Williams) Cornell, along with numerous relatives and friends who welcomed her into eternal rest.
Peggy was a selfless and kind-hearted person who never met a stranger. She loved the Lord and was of the Pentecostal faith. Peggy was brought to faith in the Lord through the guidance of her pastor, Fred Beasley. She had a deep love for serving others and found great joy in being a caregiver. Peggy also enjoyed riding horses and faithfully serving her church. Above all, her children were the center of her life, and through them her love and legacy will continue.
Those left to cherish her memory include her spouse, Manuel Battles; her daughters, Lenora Thompson of Mountain Home, Idaho, and Elizibeth Battles of Poteau, Oklahoma; her son, David Andrew Cormany, Jr. of Grafenwoehr, Germany; and her brother, Daniel Cornell of Wister, Oklahoma; along with many other relatives and friends who will deeply miss her kind spirit and loving heart.
A Celebration of Life service will be held at 1:00 PM on Tuesday, March 17, 2026, at Evans Chapel of Memories in Poteau, Oklahoma, with Pastor Rick Goodin officiating.
