Patricia Peeke Obituary
Pat grew up in Bridgewater, NJ. She attended Muhlenburg College and Lehigh University, majoring in psychology. After marrying Lachlan G. Peeke in 1992, she obtained her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Michigan State University. The couple then moved back to East Stroudsburg, PA to raise their two sons. She worked in the Pocono Mountain School District until moving to the Charlotte area in 2016 to be closer to her parents, Sandy Belcher, her late father Ed, and sister Laura Belcher (Melinda, her younger sister lives in Denver, with her wife Deborah). The hospitality of the Queen City suited her and was pleased to have found a position where she was able to share her extraordinary talents with families and children on the autism spectrum at ABS.
As a child and throughout her college years, Pat was an athlete which instilled in her a competitive spirit and a life-long commitment to fitness. As an adult she was an avid cyclist, skier, runner, and rower. She had an eager adventurous spirit, an infectious laughter, and sense of humor which served as a calling card to those who knew her. She loved diners and black coffee, she was artistic and witty. She was simple and no nonsense, yet meticulous and driven. She cared deeply for everyone she met and offered her compassionate heart in volunteer activities with hospitals, hospice, and local Habitat for Humanity affiliates. Pat was a giver. Known to so many as a coach, a counselor, a colleague, a friend, a sister, a daughter; greatest of all, a Mom, to Lach and Charlie. She was to them a teacher, a tender hugger, a Lego master, a partner in crime and master prankster. She loved them deeply and completely and burst with pride with what they have accomplished in their lives.
For all these things, Pat is already, and always will be, missed.
Any memorial gifts can be offer in her name to Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region. 3815 Latrobe Drive, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211. For online condolences, please visit www.hankinsandwhittington.com.

I had the privilege of meeting and working with Dr. Peeke at Fort Mill High School. My interaction with her was limited but it was obvious from the beginning that Dr. Peeke had a wonderful sense of humor and a passion for helping students. My thoughts and prayers are with the family especially her sons. Praying you find comfort and peace in your loss and especially in a lifetime of wonderful memories.

Pat was everything as was stated in the above. She was the psychologist at my school (BTMS) and I was the school nurse. We had many talks about our students and many laughs about our children and hobbies. She was always so excited when her boys visited her or she was going to visit with them. I loved getting to know her and missed her tremendously when she left my school. She will be missed but know her spirit and memories will always remain with me. She was a great co-worker and friend!
