In addition to her loving family, Peyton is preceded in death by her maternal grandfather, Bert Odom, and her paternal grandparents, Jessie and Janice Lowder. Their memories will live on in the hearts of those who survive her.

A memorial service celebrating Peyton’s life will be announced at a later date.
