Bertha “Bert” Peck, 84, of Albemarle, and most recently of Indian Land, SC, peacefully passed away on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at her granddaughter’s home, surrounded by her loving family.
A funeral service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, March 20, 2026, at the Stanly Funeral Home Chapel in Albemarle. Burial will follow at Lakeview Baptist Church Cemetery in Monroe, NC. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 11:00 a.m. until 12:45 p.m. at the funeral home.
Bert was born on April 20, 1941, in Dundee, Michigan, to the late Joe Poore and Betty McCarty.
She is lovingly survived by her children, Anna Cook, Albert Long (Sharon), Kenneth Peck (Kari), Sandra Hinson (Bill), and Linda Sue Peck Rushing; 12 grandchildren; many cherished great-grandchildren; her sisters, Sandra Baker and Evelyn Weaver; and her brother, Wayne Poore.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by four siblings.
Bert was a strong, hardworking, and independent woman who deeply loved her family. She was a devoted mother, grandmother and sister who found great joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. Throughout life’s many challenges, Bert remained determined and resilient, learning to appreciate and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.
She enjoyed crafting and was well known for making and selling her handmade “scrubbies.” Bert loved her church and, when she was no longer able to attend in person, faithfully listened to services on tape. She also cherished her daily conversations with her dear friends, Carol and Lloyd Mauldin. Bert spent many hours caring for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and volunteered at nursing facilities, where she helped care for residents. Her caring nature made her a wonderful caretaker to many. In her spare time, she also enjoyed relaxing and watching game shows.
The family would like to extend a special thank you to granddaughter Kimberly and Kevin for opening their home and providing Bert with loving care, compassion, and support during her later years.
They also express their sincere gratitude to the staff of Agape Care Hospice, Abbey and Carrie with Hearts and Hands of Pageland, for the kindness and support shown to Bert during her declining health.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made toward funeral expenses at Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Albemarle.
Stanly Funeral and Cremation Care of Albemarle is honored to serve the Peck family.
