Word has come from Peter Peer of the death yesterday (February 17) of his mother, Alice, a former pastor’s wife.
My dearest mother, Alice Peer, went home to glory about 5:30 this afternoon at the age of 100 years, nine months, and 15 days. She was the wife of Pastor Earle Peer and twin sister of Angie Garber.
Survived by Daughter Dorcas Reimer of Vancouver B.C.; Son Peter of Westerville, Ohio; Son John of Columbus, Ohio; Grandsons Jonathan Reimer, currently residing in Cambridge, England; Andrew Reimer of Vancouver, B.C.; Philip Peer of Columbus, Ohio; and Frank Peer of Louisville, Ky.
We love her so much and she will be greatly missed. But we know she is rejoicing with her family in the presence of the Lord.
Alice Peer celebrated her 100th birthday last year with an open house in her home in Westerville. As information regarding memorial services is known, it will be posted here.
