Peggy Eleanor Bullerdick passed away peacefully at home on April 9, 2026, surrounded by her beloved family.
Born July 1, 1948, in Crawfordsville, to Clinton and Eleanor Doll O’Dell, Peggy was a lifelong member of the community she cherished. She was a graduate of Crawfordsville High School.
Peggy was devoted to her husband, Larry Bullerdick, for almost 60 years. Together, they built a life rooted in family, hard work, and an unwavering partnership spending their years working side by side as dedicated farmers.
Peggy was the definition of strength and grace. She drove tractors and grain trucks with confidence and spent over 50 years helping run the farm and creating a home filled with love, warmth, and tradition. Yet, of all the roles she carried so faithfully, the ones she held closest to her heart were those of mother, grandma, and “Gigi.”
Peggy enjoyed several hobbies including playing volleyball, baking, fishing, mushroom hunting, she was avid in the 4H community for many years, and she especially loved card games. Peggy also loved playing in the “underground poker world” (as she would say) with her buddies. Peggy always had luck on her side, a good joke to tell, and plenty of friends to sit at the table with.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Clinton and Eleanor O’Dell; two brothers, Clinton and Jim O’Dell; father and mother-in-law, Dale and Velma Bullerdick; and great-grandson Knox Fultz.
She is survived by her husband, Larry Bullerdick and their two children, Sandra (Alan) Sarjent of Crawfordsville and James (Tammy) Bullerdick of New Market; brother Paul “Mick” O’Dell (Cindy); sister Patty Denman; brother and sister-in-law, Dave and Janie Williamson; grandchildren, Lyndsey (Jereme) Fultz, Nathan (Ashley) Collins, Abby (Skyler) Heide, Jordyn Bullerdick and Kendyll Bullerdick; and great-grandchildren, Reese Fultz, Brady Fultz, Hadley Collins and Ruelle Heide.
Peggy will be remembered for her dedication to those she cared for, and the way she made everyone feel welcomed, valued, and loved. Peggy’s life was a beautiful reflection of what truly matters — family, faith, hard work, and a love that endures beyond a lifetime.
Visitation will be 10 a.m. to noon Wednesday, April 15, with service starting at noon at the Whitesville Christian Church. Burial will follow at Oak Hill Cemetery South.
