Ann Peck Obituary

GENEVA – Ann E. Peck, after almost 96 years of love for life, love of all living things, and a special affinity for tall trees and every cloud in the sky, and closed her eyes on Saturday, February 22, 2025 and left in search of her everlasting new life in heaven.

There will be no prior calling hours.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday March 1, 2025 in St. Stephen's Church, 48 Pulteney St., Geneva, N.Y. Burial will be in St. Mary's Cemetery at the convenience of the family.

Memorial contributions, in her memory, may be made to Our Lady of Peace Parish.

Ann was born in Geneva, N.Y. on June 2, 1929 and was a lifelong resident of this area. She was the daughter of the late Martin and Martha Pullman McCarthy. Ann graduated from DeSales High School in 1947 and St. Mary's School of Nursing in 1950. She married Thomas Peck on August 10, 1951 and retired from the American Can Co. as an industrial nurse. Ann was a member of Our Lady of Peace Parish.

She is survived by her daughters, Pattie (Ron) Tolley and Mary Peck; her sons, Dan and Bob (Annie); grandchildren, Andy, Jeff, Brendan, Kevin, Colin, Bryan (Christina), Sean (Alexx), Conor, Eric (Alex), Ryan, and Leah; great-grandchildren, Devin, Drew, and Isla; her niece, Karen (Paul) Hood; and special friends Susan and Mark Ryan.

She questioned everything!! Tenacity – What does it do, how does it work, never stopped trying.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the DeVaney-Bennett Funeral Home.
