Mary Kay Peek

August 2, 1943 ~ January 14, 2025

Age 81

Mary Kay Peek, beloved wife, mother, and grandmother, passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at the age of 81. She was preceded in death by her parents and is survived by her devoted husband, Larry, with whom she shared 60 years of love and partnership.

While in college, Mary Kay met her future husband Larry on a blind date while Mary Kay was attending St. Mary’s College in Indiana, and Larry was stationed at Kincheloe Air Force Base in Michigan. After a whirlwind of heartfelt letters exchanged between them, it became clear they were destined to spend their lives together. They were married in 1964.

Mary Kay was born in Kansas City and raised in Omaha after being adopted by Dr. Edmund and Mary Frances Brown Walsh.  In addition to Larry, Mary Kay is survived by her four children: Coleen Cusick-Brown, Christopher Peek, Mary Rutten, and Daniel Peek. She was a cherished grandmother of nine, great-grandmother of seven, and friend to many, always offering a kind word and a gentle presence to those fortunate enough to know her. Mary Kay’s life was filled with compassion, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Mary Kay’s legacy of love, faith, and generosity will live on in the hearts of her family and all those who had the privilege of knowing her. She touched the lives of many and will be deeply missed by all.

Rest in peace, Mary Kay. You will forever be in our hearts.
