Wanda Sue Peacock was born in Live Oak, Fla., on July 11, 1955, to the late Cleo and Shirley Brown Bennett. She married the love of her life, DeWayne Peacock. She worked briefly at Hamilton County Hospital in Jasper, but once she became a mother, Peacock wanted to do nothing more than be a real homemaker, one that would always be there for her husband and son. She was a one-of-a-kind woman that loved her family deeply. Peacock was a devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother and grandmother. When her son was young, they were always out go-cart racing or at the ball field. Later, it was riding the ranger on the back roads in the evening, fishing or spending time with the grandchildren she adored. Before his death in November of 2020, she and her husband DeWayne spent every waking moment together. Her spirit never really recovered from that loss and it could easily be said she died of a broken heart. Peacock was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, DeWayne. Survivors include her only son and faithful daughter-in-law, Wayne and Tina Peacock; her grandchildren, Brad and Emily Peacock; her brother and sister-in-law, Richard and Lisa Bennett; her niece, Brianna Vernon and husband Anthony Vernon; great nieces, Kennaley and Braylin and her step mother, Margaret Bennett. Always there for her in the last five months were special family Diane Stapleton and Cynthia Brown. They were dedicated loved ones that stood in the gap for DeWayne until God called her home so they could be together again.
