Peggy Jo Jones Harwell, 86, passed away at her home on Friday, April 7, 2023.

A native of Buncombe Co., Peggy was a daughter of the late Lawrence and Christine Gibson Jones. She was also preceded in death by her son, Mark Allison Harwell; sisters, Shirley Owens, and Lois Jones; and by her brother, Earl Jones.

Peggy was a dedicated mother who took pride in raising and taking care of her children. She was also very proud to live the adventurous life of a Navy wife. If anybody knew Peggy, they knew that she was happiest when she was surrounded by her family. In her later years, she worked for and retired from Biltmore Estate.

She is survived by her daughters, Mitzi Alice Harwell Ward and Kimberly Anne Harwell Lookadoo; sons, Eugene Alley Harwell, II, Timothy Lynn Harwell, and Anthony Robin Harwell; granddaughter, Jenna Adrianne Ward; and sister, Joigena Jones Wolfe. Also surviving is her loving and loyal canine companion, Heidi.

The Celebration of Life Service will be held on June 3, 2023 at the Rice-Cornell-Brown Cabin, 29 Rice Branch Road (Beaverdam), Asheville, NC at 2 p.m. Donations in her memory can be made to any animal rescue organization. Groce Funeral Home on Tunnel Road is assisting the family.

  2. I’m so heartbroken for all who loved her. I have a lot of memories growing up. Always amazed me how she handled her 6 kids but could also entertain company. I loved her and was so happy to be able to visit with her this past August. Prayers 🙏 and love ❤️ Beverly

  8. Prayes for Peggy’s family. I know you all were the light of her eyes. I enjoyed many years of working along side her at biltmore. May many fun memories be a comfort to you all. She always let me call her “Paggy” and thought it was so funny that I did. She kept us in stitches most days. My husband and I later serviced her car for her and always made sure her car was safe for the road. I’m sure she will be missed.
