S. Jean Peck

Passed away on the morning of June 16, with her most loving confidant and advocate at her bedside. Born in Great Barrington, MA, Jean lived most of her life in the shadow of the Berkshire Mountains in Copake and Millerton, NY before moving to Webster, NY later in life. She is predeceased by her parents, Homer and Cuba Bathrick; husband, Alan; son, Gary; grandson, Zachary; brother, Elwood; four nephews; and several in-laws. She is survived by her sons, Bruce, Mark (Jane) and Glenn (Lynn); granddaughter, Rhiannon; great-grandchildren, Lily, Valerie and Ayden; sister, Joyce; sisters-in-law, Helen, Jane and Lois; and many nephews and nieces.

Jean’s life revolved around her family, her friends and her faith. She raised her four boys at home and later worked as an office assistant in the medical field until her retirement. She was a life-long, very active member of the Church of St. John in the Wilderness, Copake Falls, where she worked tirelessly and served in every way possible. At the time of her passing, she was also a member of Asbury First United Methodist Church in Rochester. Jean was a member and past-president of the Roeliff Jansen Historical Society. She volunteered with Community Hospice (Columbia/Green Counties) and later at the Webster Comfort Care Home, where she returned to live out her final days in the care of those with whom she once served. Jean loved people and made friends wherever she was. Her smile and her spirit will be missed, yet ever present.

A Celebration of Life and Burial will take place in Copake Falls, NY at a later date. Donations may be made to the Webster Comfort Care Home, 700 Holt Rd., Webster, NY 14580 or to the Church of St. John in the Wilderness, 261 NY-344, Copake Falls, NY 12517.
