Obituary

Peggy J. Cargile was born in rural East Texas to Aileen Parsons Cargile and Josh Cargile during the Depression.  An exceptional student, she received her B. S. degree from East Texas State University and master’s degrees from East Texas, Southern Methodist University, and Texas Woman’s University.  She also studied in Mexico and Colorado. Peggy was a teacher and school librarian in Dallas ISD, her work spanning the full K-12 at one time or another.  She also taught in U.S. Army and Air Force schools in Germany and the Philippine Islands.  She had a great desire to see the world and traveled in 44 countries on four continents. During her later years, Peggy married John F. Hill, her prince, who shared her interest in travel. The consummate professional, she was known throughout her life as a resourceful person.  She participated wholeheartedly in numerous organizations including American Association of University Women, Women’s Alliance Unitarian Church, AARP, Dallas Retired Teachers Association, Friends of Lakewood Library and Retired School Personnel. She also served as volunteer for the Arthritis Foundation, Presbyterian Hospital, Dallas Foreign Visitors, and Dallas ISD. Generous, highly intelligent and very practical, Peggy was a font of information for all who knew her. Husband Jack said “She never left home without a bag of books, magazines, brochures, lotions and pens that someone might need.”  She was constantly helping someone – find a job, locate a retirement home, transport to grocery store or doctor’s appointment, plan a relative’s funeral. Peggy was predeceased by husband Jack in 2008, a loss from which she never fully recovered. She is survived by stepchildren Carol Gonzales and husband Michael, Brian Hill and wife Vicky, and John Hill and wife Marcia; grandchildren Jackie Gonzales, Pauline Gonzales and Alex Hill.  She will be missed by them and countless friends from all ethnic, socio-economic, and age groups. A memorial service will be held at 2:00 pm on Sunday, December 3, at First Unitarian Church of Dallas, 4015 Normandy (at Preston Rd).  In lieu of flowers, please send memorials to the Arthritis Foundation or Planned Parenthood. Arrangements are under the direction of ARIA Cremation Service and Funeral Home 19310 Preston Road Dallas, Texas 75252 214-306-6700

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
