PEGGY SUE (CELY) CHAUVIN

Body
Peggy Sue (Cely) Chauvin was born May 14, 1946 in Palestine, Texas and passed October 29, 2022 in Katy, Texas. She was born to Tom and Hallie Cely and grew up in the Neches community with her three sisters, graduating from Palestine High as the Arc Light Sweetheart in 1964. Peggy married Gary Chauvin on April 20, 1974 and moved to Madisonville, Texas where they shared 16 years of marriage and two daughters until his passing in 1991. Peggy could usually be found singing alto from the pews of Midway Church of Christ, working away at her desk at John Bankhead’s law office for 24 years, or reading with a diet coke and a grandchild and/or cat in her lap. She was known for her sweet spirit and many talents (painting, sewing, baking, playing piano and guitar) as well as her love for horses and riding. Her strong-willed, independent nature helped her conquer polio, overcome numerous health issues, and raise two equally strongwilled daughters on her own. She spent her final years doting on her five grandchildren who were her pride and joy.

From the Judge’s Desk

One question that has come up several times in the last few months is “Who is responsible for ___________?”. One thing is for sure…county government is complicated. In the next few articles, I’ll try to shed a little light on some of our county officials and the role that their offices play in governing Madison County. The first step would be to provide a list of County offices, so that we have a starting point. Make no mistake…EVERY county office serves a vital role. We are all members of the same team… and we serve YOU, the citizens of Madison County! At the risk of leaving someone out, I’ll offer this list of offices that are housed in County facilities as a starting point: County Judge, County Commissioners, Criminal District Attorney, County Clerk, District Judges, District Clerk, County Treasurer, Sheriff, Jail/Dispatch officers, Tax Assessor- Collector, Justice(s) of the Peace, Constable(s), County Auditor, Emergency Management, Veterans Affairs Officer, Elections Administrator, County Library, Designated Representative, County Extension Agent, Adult Probation, Juvenile Probation and the DPS Driver License Office.
