Patricia Peavy Karr

Mrs. Patricia Peavy Karr, age 68, of Newnan, GA, left us Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at Northside Hospital Atlanta. She was born May 30, 1957 in Newnan, GA to the late James Melton Peavy & Avis Patricia Ayers Peavy. Mrs. Pat (or Peavy as so many knew her), grew up in Newnan, GA, riding her bike to Atkinson Elementary, helping at her mother's hair salon downtown, and going swimming at the Moose Club with her father. She loved riding horses, barrel racing at the local rodeo, and driving her friends around town in her Trans Am. She was a graduate of Newnan High School, class of 1975, and completed a business degree at West Georgia Technical College. After receiving her degree, she began working for the Division of Family and Children Services in Atlanta, then the United States Postal Service, and after that as a Customer Service Representative at Yokogawa Corporation of America, where she met her husband and, against the advice of the company's president, they married. After becoming a mother, she made the decision to leave her full-time job and begin working as a part-time administrator at Mills Chapel Christian Academy, where her children attended school. Later she became the administrative assistant at Royal Baptist Church, where she fulfilled many roles and always had an open door for anyone who needed a listening ear. She worked until she was no longer able due to illness. She was a long-time member of Royal Baptist Church, and later Luthersville Baptist Church, where she sang in the choir and praise team. The celebration of life will be held on Saturday, May 30th at 1:00 PM at Luthersville Baptist Church, 44 S. Main Street, Luthersville, in the Family Life Center, with Dr. Paul Dennis, Pastor Steve Bullard, and Pastor John Pape officiating. The visitation will take place Saturday afternoon from 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM at the Luthersville Baptist Church Family Life Center. In keeping with her wishes, the family asks that donations be made in her memory to the American Cancer Society in place of flowers. Condolences can be expressed online at www.mckoon.com. She is survived by her husband, Danny Karr of Newnan; children, Kristin Lawrence and husband Kyle of Grantville, GA, Clinton Karr and wife Elizabeth of Senoia, GA; grandchildren, Ayerl, Arlo, Atlas and Aster Lawrence of Grantville, GA, and Ellis, Leyland, Eloise and Emersyn Karr of Senoia, GA. She leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter in the hearts of everyone that had the privilege to know her. McKoon Funeral Home & Crematory (770) 253-4580.
