After many years struggling with Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia, Peggy Kemp Mason, went home to be with The Lord the morning of October 29, 2026. She was 91 years old.

Peggy was preceded in death by her parents, Alford and Elva Kemp, husband John H. Mason, brother Thomas Kemp, and sisters Mary Kemp McMicken and Deneice Kemp Presley. 

She is survived by her sister Sara Kemp Fletcher, brother Jim Kemp,daughter, Susan M. Hancock (husband Greg), son John Robin Mason (wife Maggie), grandson Joshua Hancock, granddaughter Caitlin Hancock, and many nieces, nephews and cousins.

Peggy loved The Lord with all her heart and led many young people to Him as a primary Sunday School teacher for over 44 years at Katherwood Baptist Church. As a home maker, she enjoyed singing hymns in her lovely soprano voice and taking care of family.

Peggy had a humble and loving spirit of service and was widely known for her kindness. She has been reunited with her husband of over 50 years, John, and having a wonderful homecoming in Heaven.

The family expresses their deep appreciation for those that helped care for Peggy in her final days. These include the staff at Home Instead Home Health Care, Southern Care Hospice, Self Skilled Nursing Home, and the friends who have kept her in their prayers for many years. Finally, we thank the congregation of Katherwood Baptist Church and Brother Richard Trader for their love and support.

The family will accept visitors and friends at visitation from 9:30 AM until 10:30 AM on Saturday, October 31st at Bell Funeral Home , 2077 Pratt Highway, Birmingham, AL 35214. The Graveside service will begin at 11:00 AM at Village Falls Cemetery in Mulga, Alabama. Pastor Rick Trader will be officiating.

In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that donations be made in honor of Peggy to Katherwood Baptist Church, 600 Roanoke Street, Birmingham, AL 35224 so that they can continue to preach God’s word and serve the community.
