Jeanne Peck

Jeanne was an inspiration to all in the struggle against breast cancer. She was courageous and have left a legacy of helping others in their struggle. She will be truly missed.

It is at times like these that people are at a loss for words when it comes to conveying their condolences, but the importance of Jeanne Peck’s work gives us the strength to try. Jeanne may no longer be with us, but the life-saving work she founded will live on in all of us who are dedicated to a vision of a world where all breast cancers are detected and treated early and breast cancer related mortality is diminished. The YWCA of the Greater Triangle sees Jeanne’s legacy as one of love,...

I will forever remember Jeanne with admiration for her kind heart and her bold and courageous spirit. As founder of the Komen NC Triangle Affiliate, she drove to Winston-Salem, NC on October 20, 1999 to help the NC Triad Affiliate kick off our first Race for the Cure meeting.

My dear Hank," you finished well !"

Jeanne was and will continue to be an inspiration to all people touched directly and indirectly by cancer. Always with a smile on her face, Jeanne's thoughts were always of others. Peace, Jeanne, to you and your family.

We have lost another angel. Jeanne ALWAYS had time to listen to all of us during the busy time of the Race for the Cure. Always had time for a smile and a hug. She never knew a stranger and was a sister to us all. Peace be with your family during this time. Jeanne was a hope and promise to us all.

"Farewell to the heart and soul that captured all and Hello to a spirit that will cast it's light for our lifetime...."

You will always be an amazing woman to me. Though I did not know you personally your life's story provided a quiet strength for me when I battled cancer last Spring. I told myself that I would make sure I met you so I could hug you and tell you to your face how I felt. I'm sorry I won't get that chance. But, I can honor you by participating in this year's Race For The Cure. May God Bless You!

To all who knew Jeanne,
My thoughts and prayers go out to you. I met Jeanne while she was at UNC-G and feel truly blessed by our friendship. She was an incredible person and could light up any room with her smile. She will most assuredly be missed by all who knew her. We all have a new guardian angel!!
