Mary Katherine Peek

Mary Katherine Peek (Bea Honey) died peacefully Thursday, April 30, 2015, with her daughter Monica Witten by her side.

Born in 1928, she was married to Joe Peek in 1946 until his death in 1987 and then moved to Montana in 1998 after living in California and Alaska.

She is survived by daughter Monica and Tom Witten, her grandchildren Bradley Witten and Brian Witten and his wife, Laura, and great grandchildren Joseph and Anthony, who all love her very much.

She touched the lives of many, and will be missed by more people than we will ever know as she brought joy, happiness and fun to everyone, including new friends anywhere. We will all miss her deeply.

We will honor her with a memorial service at 11 a.m. Thursday at Michelotti-Sawyers.
