Zelma loved working on the farm with Rex and shared his love for the St. Louis Cardinals.  She was a dedicated mother raising her 5 children, never missing the opportunity to support and attend any of their events.  She made the Peck home a welcoming house with an open door to all of their family and friends.  She thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful people she worked with in her home cleaning service.  She took great pride in the high-quality standard of service she provided to all of the homes she cleaned.  Zelma also loved to travel with family and friends. She would never turn down a country music concert (George Strait), the state fair, but the truck pulls were the favorite of her and Pappy Rex.  She would never leave the house without her hot pink lipstick!

Zelma was a woman of loyalty and love to her family.  Her heart always displayed generosity and kindness to anyone she came in contact with. Her husband and family brought her a lifetime of joy and happiness.  She will truly be missed by all who loved her.
