My wife of 31 years, known here as **Zoe** , died Tuesday August 8 2017 at Alive Hospice in Nashville ( [https://www.alivehospice.org/](https://www.alivehospice.org/) ) after a long battle with lung cancer.

Funeral plans are still being finalized, but the key points are:

\<\<\<\< **Kip Rush will be conducting the memorial service for Peggy on Saturday, August 19 at 4:00 pm. It will be at Brenthaven Church, 516 Franklin Road, in Brentwood.** \>\>\>\>
