She was active member of First Baptist Church of Center Point, and was a 20 year US Army Veteran’s wife living in many states including Europe. She moved back to her home state of Alabama in 1969, and worked at UAB hospital.
She was preceded in death by her father Lee Armstrong and her mother Ami Jones Armstrong of Hayden, AL and her devoted husband of 25 years Marvin R. Peele of Goldsboro, North Carolina and her infant son Marvin R. Peele, Jr. and 11 siblings.
Our Mom, was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great grandmother, affectionately called Grandma or Nanny. Although she experienced several tragedies in her life was able to overcome and persevere because of her faith in the Lord, her strength and love of family which led her to have a long and blessed life. She was a fantastic cook, housekeeper and enjoyed yard work. She was quite the dancer attending dances at different venues and themed events. Until March of this year she was still playing cards and board games weekly with friends and family. Known for her beautiful white hair she drove herself every Friday to her favorite hairdresser (her sister).
All her doctors, nurses, technicians and aids who cared for her these last few months fell in love and affectionately called her "Ms. Bobbie" for her smile and thankful attitude that she portrayed to her very last breath.
We have been blessed with her long, healthy life and unconditional love. We love you Momma!!
She is survived by her daughter Phyllis Peele DiGiovanna of Chelsea, AL; her son Roger Peele (Linda Peele) of Valparaiso, IN ; daughter Brenda Peele Williams (Steve Williams) of Bourbonnais, Illinois; daughter Cheryl Peele Kilgore of Pinson, Alabama. Also survived by 8 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren who she loved dearly, along with 5 siblings and special friend Scott Mayes and many extended family and friends!
