Peggy Davis LaCaze, 80 years of age, passed away Tuesday, December 18, 2018, in Shreveport, LA.  She was born on July 20, 1938 to James and Alice Morvan Davis in Robeline, LA.  She was preceded in death by her parents; two sons, Rickey Lynn Cox and Wendell Cox; and two sisters, Irma Harper and Efie Patrick. Peggy was raised in rural Natchitoches Parish and helped with her father’s farm while growing up.  Coming from such a humble life always gave her an appreciation for the simple things in life.  Her working career began with Beall’s Department Store and later she retired from Dillard’s Department Store as a department head after 25 years of service.  A hard worker, she would often share the fruits of her labor with those less fortunate.  She was an avid New England Patriot fan and especially a Tom Brady fan.  She loved being involved in her grandchildren’s lives and never missed their sporting events.  Peggy was a talented decorator and especially with an arrangement of flowers.  She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother and sister and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She is survived by her husband, Dennis LaCaze; her children, Tommy Cox and wife Darla, Susan Hall and husband Tony, and Carolyn Hynes and husband Randy; a sister, Mary Davis Page and husband Dewey; a brother, Joe Davis and wife Pat; and a daughter in law, Gail Cox.  She was blessed with four grandchildren, Joshua Cox, Cassie Dalrymple, Torrey Raines and Danielle Hynes; as well as numerous great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and friends. The family would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the nurses and staff of Heritage Manor-Stratmore for the care of Peggy during a difficult time and also to Shreveport Fire Department for responding and tirelessly working on Tuesday evening to keep Peggy with us a little bit longer.
