Mary Peck, age 76, of Cincinnati, Ohio, passed away on August 23, 2025. She was born on June 26, 1949, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Pete and Katie Peck.

She was preceded in death by her father, Pete Peck; her mother, Katie Peck (Cook); four brothers, Sam, George, Eddie, and Frank; four sisters, Jackie, Shirley, Jean, and Sue; three grandchildren, Joseph, Axl, and Terry; and one great-grandchild, Kegan.

She is survived by her longtime boyfriend, Willard Hughett; her three daughters, Mary (Raymond) Martin, Billie Jo (Charles) Day, and Crystal (Charles) Murphy; a brother, Dan; a sister, Geraldine; eight grandchildren, Angela (Eric), Sandra (Cassidy), Andrew (Dawn), Zackary, Arron (Heather), Dakota (Anjoleena), Londen, and Lydia; twelve great-grandchildren, Dereck B., Kason, Raelynn, Logan, Mason, Isabelle, Layla, Derek N., Jedidiah, Gracie, Beeslie, and Cooper; and one great grandchild on the way. She also leaves behind many nieces and nephews, as well as great-nieces and great-nephews.

Mary enjoyed sitting on her back porch, watching the wildlife run through her backyard while drinking her morning coffee. She loved doing crafts of any kind, but being with her family brought her the most joy. She always said she was rich because of the love of her family.

She worked hard throughout her lifetime, but her coworkers from Frisch's, Eger, and Jeliho became like family to her and made working enjoyable. Anyone fortunate enough to share a relationship with her knew it was special-she truly was one in a million.

A visitation will be held on Thursday, September 4, 2025, at Gilligan Funeral Home, 8225 Montgomery Road, Cincinnati, from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm. A service will follow at 2:00 pm at the funeral home.
