How do you sum up a life in a few words?  I have heard it said that it is "how you lived your dash" that matters.  The dash that appears between your birth date and your death date. Our Mother lived her dash lovingly, bodaciously, generously, and magnificently!

She gave her life to caring for others.  She stayed at home to raise her 4 children; she outlived two husbands; she outlived both of her brothers and outlived both of her parents.

Other than a brief time living in Germany, while her first husband, Alvin H. "Bill" Peckham was stationed there, she lived all of her life in Raeford.  She was a graduate of Hoke County Schools and before starting her family, worked in the offices at Burlington Mills.  She was married to David Scull of Raeford for 44 years.

She was preceded in death by infant granddaughter, Lexie Shea Peckham. She provided loving and supportive care for many beloved members of our family.

She is survived by her son, Michael Peckham and his wife, Janet; her daughter, Delaine Peckham Macdonald and her husband, Rev. Mike Macdonald; her daughter, Judy Scull Newsome, and her husband Charlie Newsome; her son, Randy Scull and his wife, Sarah Brooks Scull; nine grandchildren: Samantha Peckham Yahyapour (Michael); Kristen Peckham Marko (Jay); Dr. Caleb Macdonald; Rebekah Macdonald Corpening (Jaalen); Jessica Willard; William Brooks; Oliver Brooks; Patrick Newsome(Lauren); and Jaimison Peckham; and four great grandchildren:  Colton Yahyapour, Mason Yahyapour, Peyton Yahyapour, and Ava Marko.

Visitation for family and friends will be held at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, September 7, 2024 at First United Methodist Church, Raeford. The Celebration of Life Service will follow at noon. Burial will immediately follow the service in the Raeford Cemetery. In lieu of flowers please offer gifts in memory to Hospice of Hoke County.
