McPeek, Mary Liming

Mary Liming McPeek, 97, a resident of Hebron Hall at Oakwood Village, died Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2007, after a long illness. Born in 1909, in a house built by her father, she graduated from high school in 1925, at age 16. Always an avid student, she continued at Wilmington College, where she gained a lifelong appreciation of the Quaker point of view and later at Ohio State University, earning her master's in music education. There she met her future husband, the promising music student, Gwynn "Mac" McPeek. During their long courtship both finished their degrees and Mary continued to teach music in Ohio elementary schools. Once the couple married in 1937, they embarked on a series of moves around the world to further Mac's education and career as a professor of musicology. They made lifelong friends during their stays all over the Southeast, the Upper Midwest, western Europe and England and Mary kept up a treasured correspondence with them all. Aside from helping Mac with his researches, transcribing music, teaching piano, singing professionally in choirs and as a soloist, doing beautiful needlework and helping to raise their two children, Mary taught herself to make bobbin lace in France and later translated her first instruction book into English for publication. She became a renowned teacher of bobbin lace and was known throughout this country and in Europe for her delicate geometric designs and clear patterns and instructions. Longtime Art-Fair-on-the-Square-goers may remember her on the Capitol steps in the mid-to-late 1960s demonstrating bobbin lace with her then-teenaged daughter. Art-lovers have prized the post office's lace stamp of the early 1980s: a block of four handkerchief corners on blue backgrounds. This stamp was the culmination of more than 10 years of effort on her part as well as the committee she inspired: not only did she design one of the corners, but she advocated tirelessly for the stamp and the other three corners were designed and made by her former students and colleagues. She considered this stamp to be one of her life's main achievements. Born the fifth of seven children, she was predeceased by them all; only a sister-in-law and two of Mac's much-younger sisters remain. After Mac's death in 2002, she was painfully aware of "being the only one left." Mary is survived by her children, John McPeek (Sharon Pearl) of Virginia and Mary Ann Fraley of Madison; four grandchildren, Julia McPeek-Campbell (David Campbell) of Georgia and Scotland, Michael McPeek of Indiana, Emilie (Ross) Larson of Appleton and Christina (Joseph) Burzinski of Madison; and a former daughter-in-law, Donna McPeek of Texas. A memorial service will be held at ST. DUNSTAN'S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, 6201 University Ave., on Saturday, Dec. 15, 2007, at 10 a.m. Her ashes will be interred next summer in the family cemetery in southern Ohio, where ancestors have been buried since the early 1840s. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to any of the following: Great Lakes Lace Group, care of Kathleen Campbell, 207 Wilson St., Ypsilanti, MI 48197-4505; dementia research, Michigan Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, neuro-dementiatrials@med.umich.edu or NYU Silberstein Aging and Dementia Research Center, New York University School of Medicine, 550 1st Ave., Room THN314, New York, NY 10016; Macular Degeneration Research Fund (www.eyesight.org/Memorials/memorials.html) or the charity of one's choice. Mary always hated the way cut flowers wilted so quickly. Cress Funeral and Cremation Service 6021 University Ave. (608) 238-8406
