Hope Deon Halladay Peay passed away peacefully in her home on October 11, 2006, at age 89, after a brief, but courageous fight with cancer. Our loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother insisted on being at home with family and friends surrounding her.
Hope was born May 30, 1917 in Provo, Utah, to Thomas Abraham and Christine Sheppard Halladay. She married Laurence Gideon Peay on November 19, 1937, and they were sealed for time and all eternity on August 30, 1939 in the Salt Lake Temple.
They raised three fine sons on a small farm in southwest Provo, and Hope's energy and time was spent as a loving wife and mother. But, when the opportunity came along to sell the farm and build a new house in Springville, Hope and Larry jumped at the chance.
Along with seven of her high school girl-pals, Hope started a Pinochle group her junior year at Provo High School. That group is still playing games some 72 years later, even though many had passed on, and others came and went. There were always treats, laughter and sharing of special, cherished friendships.
Hope loved holidays and all that went with them. Family, food, festivities - building floats for the Fourth of July, Halloween costumes, Thanksgiving feasts, and grandchildren acting out the Christmas Story. She would make extravagant plans and decorations for the Church's Gold and Green Balls. She was always busily engaged in a good cause, and a friend to everyone. Hope received an Honorary Golden Gleaner award. She spent more than 15 years caring for her late husband, who suffered a severe stroke in 1978. Hope was the school secretary at Sunset View Elementary for 22 years, and then served as a Pink Lady at UVRMC in Provo for 20 years and was on the volunteer board. In 2004, she was named "Hero of the Month" at Canyon Elementary School in Spanish Fork, after her great-granddaughter, Samantha Irwin, nominated her for the award. In her spare time, Hope enjoyed knitting, crocheting, making porcelain dolls, ceramics, gardening, golfing, and spending Sunday evenings with the whole family at her home. She was our angel ÔGrandma-Great' and will be sorely missed, but fondly remembered.
Hope, a faithful member of the LDS church, is survived by her sons, Garth (Delynne) Peay and Michael Peay; daughter-in-law Charlotte Peay; grandchildren: Allyson (Carl) Johnson, Angie (Brent) Simons, Andrea (John) Bate, April (Sam) Irwin, Wendy Crocker, David (Nicole) Peay, Britnee (Quinn) Fullmer, Melinda (Dave) Ibarra, Heather Monique Peay, and Elder Brock Halladay Peay and 16 great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, her eldest son, Laurence Gary Peay, three half-sisters: Arthella, Izetta, Maggie; two sisters: Bee, Myrle; and one brother: Theodore "Ted" Halladay.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, October 16, 2006 at 11 a.m. at the Spring Creek 1st Ward, 860 E. 200 North, Springville. Viewings will be held Sunday evening at Berg Mortuary, 185 E. Center St, Provo from 6:00-8:00 p.m. as well as at the church one hour prior to services. Interment, Provo City Cemetery. Condolences may be sent to [email protected].
