Surrounded by her loving family, Evelyn Fay Peters died peacefully on Saturday, August 17, 2024. She was born in Capay to Leroy and Opal Woolsey on November 8, 1929.
Affectionately known by most as “Gram” or “Grammy”, she cherished her family and loved them unconditionally, a love that was deeply reciprocated.
She enjoyed spending time on the Mendocino coast, at deer camp, or simply being with her loved ones. She also had a passion for reading, playing Yahtzee, board games, Sudoku, crosswords, and listening to country music. She was also an avid crocheter, and movie enthusiast.
Her warmth and love will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her children, Marie Emery (David Sr.), Marilyn Cardenas, and Gerald Peters (Beth Everhart); grandchildren John Miranda (Cori), David Emery Jr., Donald Emery (Teresa), Ernest Peters II (Joe Quilici), Doug Emery, Jeannine Robinson (Donald), Eric Peters (Jennifer), and Jason Cardenas (Jessica); 19 great-grandchildren; 10 great-great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, and extended family members.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ernest Gerald Peters; her parents; her sisters Gloria Woolsey, Lillian Flournoy, and Maxine Peters; and her brother, LeRoy Woolsey.
She will be laid to rest in a private ceremony attended by immediate family at the Willows Veterans Cemetery.
