Peggy Darlene Cook Strickland, 83, of Patterson, formerly of Nassauville, FL, passed away Friday morning, August 21, 2026, at Hospice Satilla Hospice House in Waycross.
Born in Fernandina Beach, FL November 10, 1942, she was raised in the Nassauville community, where she would live until moving to Patterson in 2008. She attended Yulee High School, where she was the fastest female runner on the track team. She loved to dance in her younger years, which was one of her qualities that caught the eye of Alvin Strickland, whom she would marry and spend the next 67 years together with, building a family, as well as many business adventures. A woman of true humbleness, she was never one to brag about her accomplishments. She will be deeply missed.
She was a daughter of the late Dave and Annie Keith Cook.
