EDITH FAYE PETERS
Edith Faye Peters, 86, of Laurel, went to be with the Lord Tuesday, May 24, 2022, at Brookville Healthcare Center, Brookville, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born April 5, 1936, in Hamilton, Ohio, to Gale and Elizabeth Laws Goodman.
On August 15, 1953, she married Arthur Peters, Jr. in Hamilton, Ohio. Arthur Peters, Jr. passed away on November 11, 2012. This beloved couple was married 59 years.
A devoted Christian, wife, and mother, Edith gave birth and cared for nine children since the age of 19. One child, Mark Allen, passed away at the age of seven on December 2, 1970, due to cancer.
Edith enjoyed gardening, cooking, and listening to music. A Sunday school teacher, her heart’s desire was to bring children to love and know the Lord. She did all these things all the while providing a loving home for her family. Edith loved being surrounded by her family whether it was at home on Kokomo Hill Road or when she traveled to Hamilton, Ohio, to spend time with her mom and siblings which she was most fond of. Lots of love and laughter was shared during these times.
Throughout Edith’s life, she has shown the “fruits of the Spirit” as the Bible speaks of in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
She is survived by eight children: Victoria Lynn Wilson and her husband Perry of Brookville, Randall Lee Peters and his wife Sandy of Claremore, Oklahoma, James Arthur Peters and his wife Roxanne of Safford, Arizona, Elizabeth Ann Lewis of Andersonville, Joseph Andrew Peters and his wife Lynn of Laurel, Jonathon Ray Peters of Laurel, Jillian Kay Isaac and her husband Jason of Connersville, and Rebecca Faye Vail of Brookville. Survivors also include 22 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren. She was also blessed with a host of nephews, nieces, and cousins she was most fond of.
Besides her husband, she was preceded in death by her parents; a son, Mark Allan Peters; sisters, Marcella Harding, Mable O’Neill, and Shirley Lindsay; brothers, Ernest Durbin and Darrell Goodman; and sons-in-law, Douglas Lewis and Eddie Vail.
