Cora Jean Peck

Cora Jean Peck, age 88, of Dorr, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, June 23, 2016. She was also known by her extended family in Salem Township as “Momo”. She was born in the fall of 1927 to her parents, Gordon and Beatrice (Miller) Brown in Pickford, MI. Cora will be remembered for helping people for many years at Allegan General Hospital as a Nurse Aid. Her family remembers her as someone that never complained and remained humble all her life. Cora’s passions included traveling and knitting. It was also well known and understood that she was the “SkipBo Queen.” Cora is preceded in death by her loving husband, Harold; a son, Ronald Peck; a daughter, Janice Martinoff; sister, Peggy Dutcher; brothers, Dean Brown and Barney Brown; and daughter-in-law, Joanie Peck. She will be sadly missed by her children, James (Deb) Peck, Richard Peck, Sharon (Terry) Nye, Dorothy Peck, Thomas (Barb) Peck, Donald Peck, and Lucy (Scott) VanVolkinburg. Also surviving are brothers, Ted (Wilma) Brown and Dale (Shirley) Brown and many many grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The family would like to thank the caregivers at Byron Center Manor and also her in-home caregivers. According to Cora’s wishes, cremation has taken place. The family will hold a Celebration of Life on Wednesday, June 29, 2016 from 6pm to 8 pm at the gathering place at Byron Center Manor (2115 84th St. SW, Byron Center, MI 49315).
