Peggy Ann Hinman

Peggy Ann Hinman, age 79, of Austin, TX, passed away peacefully Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Hospice Austin’s Christopher House. Peggy fought a long, hard battle with cancer with the utmost style, grace, kindness, patience and determination.

She was born November 18, 1945 in Ft. Worth, TX to the late Edison and Mary Elizabeth Toal. Peggy was a graduate of Castleberry High School, and worked in Human Resources most of her life. She enjoyed baking, gardening and traveling, but her biggest joy in life was her grandkids.

Peggy was extremely social and never met a stranger. She loved her friends and family, and built a strong community around her, especially her Circle C neighbors. Peggy was a member of the St. Alban’s Episcopal church in Waco, and spent many years at Lake Air Little League watching her kids play ball.

She is survived by her brother, George Toal of Montrose, CO, and sister, Sharon Meshew of Richardson, her children, Kevin Franks of Seguin, and Elizabeth Powell of Austin. Peggy “Meems” is also survived by her grandkids, Hudson Franks and Walker Franks, Mary Elizabeth Powell, AnnaCatherine Powell, and Vaughn Powell II. She leaves behind many cousins and loved ones, including her sister-in-law, Rebecca Toal, whom she cared for dearly.

The family extends their appreciation to the doctors and nurses of Texas Oncology and St. David’s Medical Center for their compassionate care of Peggy and her family.
