SUSAN ESTHER PEACOCK

June 09, 2026

Susan Esther Peacock, born March 7, 1952 in Tacoma, Washington,

passed away peacefully on May 4, 2026 in Methodist Hospital, Richardson,

Texas.

Susan was a graduate of Eastern Washington University, and East

Tennessee University. She lived a life devoted to learning, the arts, and the

people she loved. She worked as a costumer for the Greater Miami Opera

Company. A passionate educator, she spent more than twenty years

teaching Spanish at Pennington Gap, Virginia, and Mountain Empire

Community College in Big Stone Gap, where her warmth, intelligence, and

dedication left a lasting impression on countless lives.

Outside the classroom, Susan had a deep love for theater and an immense

appreciation for books and lifelong learning. Music was also a constant

source of joy in her life, and she especially loved listening to the Beatles

and to her daughter Patricia play her cello. In later years, she discovered a

passion for cross-stitching, finding comfort and creativity in every carefully

crafted piece. She presented many to family and friends who cherish them.

Susan will be remembered for her kindness, intellect, creativity, and the

genuine care she showed to those around her.

She is survived by her mother, Patricia Claire Brown, her daughter, Patricia

Larsen, and her three siblings, James Peacock of Carson City, Nevada,

Scott Peacock of Wiley, Texas and Lisa Murphy of Little Elm, Texas.

She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, former students, and all who

had the privilege of knowing her.

She will be laid to rest in Evergreen Cemetery, New Bedford, Pennsylvania.

It is the family’s wish that any remembrance be sent to the Bristol TN/VA

Embroidery Guild of America in care of Sandra Jalelonski, 240 East Main

St. Johnson City, TN 37604.
