Evelyn Hisey Peer

Our beloved, Evelyn Hisey Peer, passed away peacefully on November 20th, 2022, in Woodstock, VA. She was 96. Evelyn was born on April 6th, 1926, to James David Peer and Grace Hisey Peer in Woodstock, VA. Evelyn graduated from Woodstock High school in 1943 and went on to study at Mary Washington College and Richmond Professional Institute. After graduating, Evelyn went to live and work in Boston, Massachusetts where she was employed as a medical secretary for several years before returning home to her roots in Woodstock, VA where she would build a life she loved surrounded by family. Evelyn worked in several local Woodstock law offices gaining experience before she became Clerk of the Court for the County of Shenandoah Juvenile Domestic Relations District Court where she remained until her retirement on October 1st, 1994. Evelyn loved the Lord and was a lifelong member and supporter of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Woodstock where she sang in the choir. Evelyn never chose to marry or have children of her own, but this did not stop her from being intimately involved and present in the lives of her nieces and nephew and their families. She loved holiday gatherings with family (Thanksgiving was her most favorite) when her great-nieces and nephews would return home from college and eventually with their growing families. She loved to hear stories of their travels and life experiences. Though she loved them all, Evelyn was particularly fond of her great-niece's husband David Kelley who would spend hours after a long holiday meal chatting with Evelyn about how she was spending her days and her church business. David's friendship with Evelyn carried her through her final years and ensured she received the care and love she needed. Evelyn was predeceased by her father James David Peer, her mother Grace Hisey Peer, her stepmother Maude Kibler Peer, her brother Allen Hollis Peer Sr. and her aunt Marguerite Hisey Marshall. She is survived by her nieces Beverly Virginia Peer and Elizabeth Peer Fraim of Norfolk, VA.; nephew Allen Hollis Peer Jr. of Woodstock, VA; great nieces, Meghann Eastham, Annie Bosse, Catherine Kelley, Katie Cline and Sarah Peer and their children; great nephews, Allen Hollis Peer III, David Fraim and Richard Fraim and their children. A memorial service will be held in June 2023 in Woodstock, VA so that the extended family she so dearly loved can be present. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Woodstock, VA in honor of Evelyn and her love for Jesus. Events Details are pending.
