April 16, 1921 -- May 11, 2005
Beloved wife, mother, grandmother and great 
grandmother Jean Lorraine Peck was born in 
Portsmouth, Ohio on April 16, 1921. She 
graduated from Middletown High School in 1938 
and married Leslie Peck on May 3, 1940. They 
had three sons and a daughter.
In 1956, Jean and Les packed up and moved to 
the San Fernando Valley, living in Reseda for 22 
years.
After the last child was out of the house, they 
moved to Jean's dream home on five acres in 
Northfork, northeast of Fresno. Here they lived 
in retirement for 23 years, working hard and 
enjoying their life together and the visits from 
their children and grandchildren. Jean Loved to 
garden, clear chaparral and split and stack wood 
alongside her husband. 
Jean and Les moved to Tehachapi in June, 2001 
to be closer to their children during their final 
years.
 On May 3, 2002 they were married 62 years 
and on August 7, 2002, Jean's life-long 
companion died. Two years and nine months 
later, on Tuesday, May 11, Jean passed away 
peacefully in her sleep.
She is survived by her sister, Betty Jane Days, 
her four children, eight grandchildren, nine great 
grandchildren, nieces and nephews. 
Jean will be laid to rest next to her husband 
during graveside services on Thursday, May 19 
at 10 a.m. in the Northfork Cemetery in 
Northfork.
From all of the family, we love you Mom, 
Grandma, Aunt Jean and we miss you terribly.
