Cornelia Peeples Sherrill

Cornelia 'Connie' P. Sherrill, 81, of Covington, GA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, with her children by her side. Born in Fort Valley, GA, on September 29, 1943, she was the beloved daughter of the late Jay B. and Cornelia Monk. Connie was preceded in death by her first husband, Richard D. Peeples, in August 1982, and her second husband, Thomas C. Sherrill, Sr. in October 2017. She was also preceded in death by her sisters, Anne Sargent and Frances Williford. She leaves behind a loving family who will cherish her memory forever: her children, Christie Peeples (Janet Morley) of Conyers, GA, Gene Peeples (Christy) of Covington, GA, and Thomas C. Sherrill, Jr (Diane) of Conyers, GA. She was a devoted Maw-Maw to Cole Peeples (Grace), Kelsey Peeples (Michael Hart), Chandler Peeples (Jena), and Bailey Peeples (Jacob Wilson). Connie was also a proud great-grandmother to her only great-grandchild, Mabry Dean Peeples. She is also survived by her sisters, Mary Hobbs and Charlene Shakill (Amin), both of California, along with several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews. Connie was full of warmth, energy, a little bit of spice, and a love for life. She and Tom, better known as Paw-Paw, spent many years traveling together and enjoying the beautiful scenery of God's creation. Whether exploring new places or returning to her favorite destinations, she found joy in experiencing the world and sharing those moments with her person. A talented cook, Connie loved filling her home with the comforting scents of Southern cooking and the laughter of family and friends. She also had a flair for style - always well dressed with her nails done, and hair done too. Above all, Connie took no greater pride in life than having the title of 'Mom'. She was a dedicated mother up until her last breath - her daughter's best friend and her son's biggest fan. Connie will be remembered for her kind heart, unwavering love for her family, and the joy she brought to those around her. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Connie's memory to the Alzheimer Association - www.alz.org. Funeral services will be held Monday, February 10, 2025 at 2:00 PM at Scot Ward's Green Meadow Chapel; interment will follow at Green Meadow Memorial Gardens. The family will receive friends Monday, February 10, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM at the funeral home. Condolences may be submitted online at www.scotward.com.
