ALICE MAE PEAVY

PEAVY ALICE M. PEAVY, 57, was called to eternal rest on Nov. 20, 2014. Alice was a lifelong resident of Cleveland, OH.

She started her career in publishing at Penton Press, and she became an Editor for the Cleveland Magazine in her twenties.

She amassed hundreds of books, and was a Stephen King enthusiast. Her other passion was collecting Teddy Bears, and she owned over 500. Alice did not have children, but mothered many, especially her nieces and nephews. Alice was driven by her love of life, family, and holiday gatherings.
